Release Ruby Gem to GitHub Packages

This action builds the gems for all .gemspec files in the projects root and uploads them to GitHub Packages (or optionally specify a subdirectory to build from).

Usage

Example minimal workflow using this action:

name: CI

on: [push]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - name: Build and publish gem
      uses: apptweak/publish-gems-to-github@v2.4
      with:
        token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

The command find ... -execdir gem push {} will fail if any of the built gems has been pushed already.

Inputs

Name	Required	Description
token	true	GitHub token that has write access to Packages. You can use secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN

Versioning your gem

This action currently does not bump the gem's version when building it. It is up to you to do it (either manually or in a previous workflow step). If you try to release gem in the same version that already exists, the step will fail.

In case you want to ignore these types of failures, you can add:

continue-on-error: true

to the build step configuration.
