      uses: erlef/setup-beam@v1
      with:
        elixir-version: ${{ env.ELIXIR_VERSION }}

    - name: Publish to Hex
      uses: synchronal/hex-publish-action@v3

        key: ${{ secrets.HEX_PM_KEY }}
        tag-release: false

Configuration

• name (required) - The name of the library.
• key (required) - A hex.pm key with API Write access.
• organization - An organization name for publishing private packages. (Note: this is not well-tested)
• working_directory- (default: .) - The directory or subdirectory from which to publish.

Caveats

• This action will not publish the first release of a library.

Deployment workflow

• Make changes, commit them and push them (yolo!)
• git tag -a -m "Description of changes" v2
• git push --follow-tags
• Update a project to use the new version
• When it fails, update the tag?
