To create or advance a release, simply run make release VERSION='$semver', e.g.
- `make release VERSION='1.2.3'
- `make release VERSION='1.2.3-rc1'
To run the process without making external changes (GitHub, Quay...), run the command with DRY_RUN=true.
Make sure you set the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable to a Personal Access Token which has
at least public_repo access to your repository.
By default, the action will try to push to the GitHub account used in the origin remote.
If you want to use a specific GitHub account, set GITHUB_ACTOR to the desired account, e.g.
make release VERSION='1.2.3' GITHUB_ACTOR='octocat'
