What

Automate the steps to create a GitHub release, including the creation of a release artifact, which currently (for some reason) happens in the publish to npm job.

We should figure out how to test this work without spamming our GitHub releases. npm has dry-run, so perhaps GitHub has something similar?

Why

Currently creating a GitHub release is done locally on dev machines, including manually uploading a release artifact. Doing it via the GitHub API will hopefully mean a more controlled environment.

Who

Developers

Done when

  • We have a way of triggering this job (which could be manual, or could, for instance, check npm)
  • Have figured out how to generate and attach the release artifact automatically
  • Can create a GitHub release
  • We have updated the documentation for this step
