add auto building

[webdev03]

This is a bit different from the ninetails system.
What you first do, is create a tag that starts with v, like this from https://dev.to/erikhofer/build-and-publish-a-multi-platform-electron-app-on-github-3lnd where I got this system from:

Then, a draft PR should come up in your releases. Edit the description and stuff, then release it!

[webdev03]

You won't make the release yourself, you just make the git tag from the cli/github desktop and push it. Then Electron Forge can handle all the rest, creating the release with binaries. Then you can edit the description and release it 😄

[webdev03]

Thanks!

[webdev03]

Can you try it? @JaydenDev I'd love to see it in action, can you make a tag for it, you can even make a tag online I think

[jdev082]

@webdev03
you cant make a tag without makin a release

[webdev03]

You can.

[webdev03]

Just run npm version minor or whatever npm version it automatically adds a tag too. Then
git push --follow-tags

[jdev082]

You have to create tags via github

[jdev082]

and it does not let you

[webdev03]

You can use https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/75148774/147155381-9476f789-b01e-47c8-8c1a-534733c9b46b.png
Let me try on my repository.

npm ERR! Git working directory not clean.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

[jdev082]

so yeah no you cant

[webdev03]

No, you need to commit your changes :P
Have you done that? You need to have a clean, no changes, exactly as the remote, for a tag to be made.

[jdev082]

❯ npm version minor
v21.13.0

[webdev03]

No, that versions your package.json

[jdev082]

"npm version" shows the version of npm
are you stupid?

[webdev03]

Look, can I give you some steps

[jdev082]

"npm version" shows the version of NPM

[webdev03]

npm version 0.4.0 will work. Trust me. https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v6/commands/npm-version

[webdev03]

https://github.com/webdev03/ninetails/tree/v2.3.0 this tag was made with the CLI.

[webdev03]

Hmm, that's weird

[jdev082]

i got it to work but ur GH action is a failure.
dont upload broken PRs.

[webdev03]

I made a fix for it. For some reason, while I was typing, my editor broke it. So sorry!! 😭
