Description
Description of the new feature/enhancement
A GitHub Action placed in the marketplace that would submit a PR when a release is created could make keeping open source projects up to date in this repo very easy.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
I have no idea if an action actually supports that 😉 It would need to be able to:
- Get a template manifest from the repo
- Download artifacts from the release
- Calculate the hash
- Update the template
- Submit a PR using some account token
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by checking whether GitHub Actions supports the requested release-created trigger and how a workflow could access the repository's template manifest and release artifacts. Done means an action can calculate the artifact hash, update the template, and submit a pull request using an account token, with the action suitable for Marketplace publication.
