jmhnilbog / FoundryVTT-Module-Template

A template repository for FoundryVTT module development that comes with versioned CI/CD

How to use this Template to create a versioned Release

1. Open your repository's releases page.

2. Click "Draft a new release"

3. Fill out the release version as the tag name.

Do not prefix your tag name with a v.

If you want to add details at this stage you can, or you can always come back later and edit them.

4. Hit submit.

5. Wait a few minutes.

A Github Action will run to populate the module.json and module.zip with the correct urls that you can then use to distribute this release. You can check on its status in the "Actions" tab.

6. Grab the module.json url from the release's details page.

This module.json will only ever point at this release's module.zip, making it useful for sharing a specific version for compatibility purposes.

7. You can use the url https://github.com/<user>/<repo>/releases/latest/download/module.json to refer to the manifest.

This is the url you want to use to install the module typically, as it will get updated automatically.
