No compile instructions

[worthy7]

I tried to make a feature via this starter.

1. Download the template
2. Make a new feature or change the ID of color or hello feature
3. Error Blob /tmp/features-output-1699945273175/devcontainer-feature-.......tgz does not exist.

Via this comment https://github.com/devcontainers/features/issues/752#issuecomment-1811349223 it seems I should also have compiled something but I don't see those instructions in this feature-starter readme. So please can we make it clearer?

That sounds like a great suggestion. If you have a moment, would you be willing to open a PR(s) to that readme? Thank you!

Hey there! This repo utilizes a GitHub action following these steps in the README for publishing. We also provide this guide, although the steps are quite similar. "Under the hood" this GitHub action invokes the devcontainer features publish command, which has the arguments as shown below

[~]$ devcontainer features publish --help
devcontainer features publish <target>

Package and publish Features

Positionals:
  target
           Package and publish features at provided [target] (default is cwd), where [target] is either:
              1. A path
           to the src folder of the collection with [1..n] features.
              2. A path to a single feature that contains a d
           evcontainer-feature.json.
                                                                                      [string] [required] [default: "."]
