Example to use github action and git branches for package publishing

Github Action Package Publisher

Release and update automatically your package on master push

Requirements on your package.json

You need to have standard-version package installed.

npm i standard-version -D

OR

yarn add standard-version -D

How it works

The magic happen in .github/workflows/release.yml

You can copy past the release.yml into your Github project.

Note: the release branch should exist
