Why Build This

I build this Github Action to help build a nightly release to make the workflow could automaticly append a string -nightly after the version number recorded in package.json.

There is no other existing workflow could meet my requirements as far as I searched. jacobtomlinson/gha-find-replace, which I borrowed ideas from, works well but it only supports linux platform. Thus my nightly build workflow could not work for multiple platform.
