on:
  release:
    types:
      - published

  redaxo_publish:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:

      - if: hashFiles('composer.json') != ''

          version: ${{ github.event.release.tag_name }}

3. Create a new release with a nice description

As soon as you publish a new release on GitHub, this workflow is triggered and your AddOn is uploaded to myREDAXO.

We recommend to create a new tag with the same name of the version defined in the package.yml of your REDAXO AddOn.

We also recommend to use a nice description with information about the date of the relase, new features or instructions for other developers, e.g. any important changes or tasks to do before or after the installation. It's possible to use markdown syntax.

# My Addon Name | Published on XX.XX.202X | Version

One line about the main new feature.

> **Important:** An warning about breaking changes, new preconditions or additional instructions
