Release Asset Action

A GitHub action to add files to a release.

Enviroments

GITHUB_TOKEN: The GitHub token used to create an authenticated client

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Required
asset_files	Glob pattern of files to upload	Required
upload_url	The target url for the release file uploads	Required

There are two ways you can use this action:

• Trigger on a release (does not work with drafts)
• Chain it after another action that creates an release

If this release is triggered on a "release" event, the url can automatically be detected. However, if it is chained the release-url will need to be passed in from the previous steps.
