The Keyword Releaser will create a release based on the keyword specified in the arguments.

Environment Variables

• GITHUB_TOKEN - Required Allows the Action to authenticte with the GitHub API to create the release.

Arguments

• Required - A single keyword. If the keyword is found in a commit message, a release will be created. Although case is ignored, it's suggested to use a unique, uppercase string like FIXED, READY_TO_RELEASE, or maybe even PINEAPPLE.
