    Discontinued An Action to create releases via the GitHub Release API

    is it possible to write a GitHub Action that would compile my Rust binary for 3 different systems (Mac, Linux and Windows), create a new release on GitHub and upload those binaries to it? I've found this action, and also this one. Those seem to be able to do what I need, but they are both archived and not actively maintained for quite a while. Is it even safe to use those? I know that Actions can be used to compile my binaries as I've already been using them to run tests on all three systems, but I want to know if it is possible upload those binaries and create release with them. Also, is it possible to read version number from a file in my repository with GitHub Actions to set that as a name for a new release?

    📦 :octocat: GitHub Action for creating GitHub Releases

    While those actions are indeeded archived, they do recommend some other community actions to use. I have used https://github.com/softprops/action-gh-release and it works well. That said, you need to do your own due diligence on how comfortable you are using community actions.
