GitHub Action to Add Release Metadata to The IOTA Tangle

This GitHub Action will take the contents of your GitHub release and create an associated Transactions on the IOTA Tangle. This way the data associated with the release becomes immutable.

Usage

Create a GitHub workflow in you repo e.g. /.github/workflows/tangle-release.tml

on:
  push:
    # Sequence of patterns matched against refs/tags
    tags:
      - 'v*' # Push events to matching v*, i.e. v1.0, v20.15.10

name: Create Release
