Add WinGet Releaser
This pull request adds a workflow that automatically publishes GDLauncher to WinGet every release. It would replace GDLauncher being automated by vedantmgoyal2009/winget-pkgs-automation (This workflow is made by the same person that made winget-pkgs-automation). Please do not merge this pull request without reading the below and making the required changes (The token part is the important bit) :)
-
installers-regex: '\.exe$'
This will include all .exe files in the assets of the latest GDLauncher release (GDLauncher-win-setup.exe) in the pull request.
-
token: ${{ secrets.WINGET_TOKEN }}
This is the bit that will require action from the person whose account will be used for the pull requests (a member of the gorila-devs GitHub organisation). This is a GitHub token with which the action will authenticate with GitHub and create a pull request on the winget-pkgs repository.
To do this, you will need to:
- Create a Personal Access Token (PAT) with
public_reposcope.
- Create a repository secret containing the token. Super important: call this token:
WINGET_TOKEN. See using encrypted secrets in a workflow for more details.
Finally, a fork of winget-pkgs needs to be created under the gorilla-devs organisation. Please do not delete the fork after a pull request has been merged as the action will use that fork for making a branch and merging it with the upstream winget-pkgs repository on every GDLauncher release.
If you would like to read about this action further, the source code and documentation are here.
