How to use this repo

The most interesting Workflow is the release Workflow - see Actions · bkleinen/github-actions-pipeline-playground The "Semantic Release" job depends on four other jobs, 2 of them in development.yml It represents the deployment pipeline with

• release.yml is triggered by push on master
• development.yml is triggered by push in PR, and used in release.yml
• CodeQL runs quietly for all pushes but is not a precondition in the deployment pipeline.

Look further into this approach of creating a release:

• open-sauced/semantic-release-conventional-config: semantic-release shareable config to publish to npm and/or ghcr

Reuse Docker Container

• check out the original version of the release.yml for storing and reusing docker images: open-sauced/release.yml at main · aaronwinston/open-sauced
