Question: rc version release

[danpacho]

What if publishing package with this action for rc version, like version: "1.0.0-rc.0"?

Expected behavior is that npm publish --tag rc script is automatically adapted, because rc tag is included in version string.

And after automatically publishing process via this action, package can then be installed with the following command
npm install my-package@rc

I would prefer this module to be a pretty thin wrapper around vanilla npm behavior, so I'm not interesting in doing anything clever with parsing the version string at this time.

This action will fall back to the publishConfig field in package.json, so if you're interested in using this action to publish pre-release versions to a non-latest tag in some automated fashion, I recommend you use that functionality.

For example:

{
  "name": "my-cool-package",
  "version": "1.0.0-rc.0",
  "publishConfig": {
    "tag": "rc"
  }
}
