Publish to a distribution branch

Actions are run from GitHub repos so we will checkin the packed dist folder.

Then run ncc and push the results:

$ npm run pack
$ git add dist
$ git commit -a -m "prod dependencies"
$ git push origin releases/v1

The action is now published! 🚀

See the versioning documentation

Validate

You can now validate the action by referencing ./ in a workflow in your repo (see test.yml)

uses: ./
with:
  milliseconds: 1000

See the actions tab for runs of this action! 🚀

Usage:

After testing you can create a v1 tag to reference the stable and latest V1 action
