Workflow permissions

Remember to check that the Action permissions in your repository under Settings -> Actions -> General screen is set to "Workflow permissions" -> "Read and write permissions".

Add ZIP to release

The following information applies to plugins and themes that are submitted to and listed in the CP Directory.

This workflow creates a properly crafted ZIP file and attaches this file to your release.

You can also add a ZIP file (that contains your plugin or theme) from elsewhere. See the Plugin Directory Requirements and Theme Directory Requirements for instructions.

Setup

• In your repo create a folder called .github/workflows and add file add-zip-to-release.yml from the workflows folder of this repository.

• This workflow uses your repository name as folder name, so change it if you have to do something more specific.

• Create a file called .gitattributes on top of your repo to exclude specific folders and files from your release (such as folder .github/workflows and file .gitattributes). Example:

  .github export-ignore
  .gitattributes export-ignore
  .gitignore export-ignore
  

Usage

Follow these steps to release a new version:

• From your repository go to "Releases".
• Draft a new release.
• In the "Select tag" dropdown click "Create new tag".

• Enter (new) version number. Please respect Semantic Versioning.

• Enter a title and a description for your release.

• Click on publish.

• Leave the workflow time to run. You'll get the ZIP file attached to the release.
