P.S. I'll squash the commits if that's easier for you - was annoying to test the workflows out without commiting! 😂

Thanks for the work on this! I'll test this out later and then merge it in.

Just to clarify - this is still a draft pr. I've been struggling to get the tag name from the CI. I tried with github.ref and it did not work as intended.

If it helps, this is how I do it in my other project: https://github.com/Sleitnick/Knit/blob/main/.github/workflows/release.yaml#L48
${GITHUB_REF#refs/tags/}

So maybe it could look something like this?

      - name: Get the tag of current release
        id: get_version
        run: echo ::set-output name=VERSION::${GITHUB_REF#refs/tags/v}

      - name: Verify package version is equal to tag version
        if: ${{ steps.cargo_version.outputs.value != steps.get_version.outputs.VERSION }}
        run: |
          echo "${{ steps.cargo_version.outputs.value }}"
          echo "${{ steps.get_version.outputs.VERSION }}"
          exit 1

If you wanna make those changes, I'll pull this in!

Hey sorry about that @Sleitnick will get to it ASAP!

No problem; no rush

Hm @Sleitnick... I still could not get it implemented with the changes you requests, you should be able to add a commit re if you want to take a stab at seeing what's wrong here.
