Rust simple release

English | 简体中文

Extremely simple all-in-one release for your rust project!

This CI is for small and middle rust project, which doesn't need complex CI/CD. It supports rust workspace, but only allows build and upload from one package. (request features if you want more packages to build :) And it supports building multi features, bins and lib.

You don't need to worry about openssl deps, this action will solve it. Just add openssl = { version = "0", features = ["vendored"] } to your Cargo.toml. (vendored is necessary)

If you are using nightly or other channels, please add it to rust-toolchain.toml.

This action will automatically setup rust dev environment, and other tools like cargo-zigbuild. It doesn't use containers, so if you have other dependencies, just install and config them before running this action.

Usage

Please set your Github token before using this action. The example below uses GH_TOKEN as the secret name, you can change it to your own secret name.

Simple

assume that your project only has only one package with no features. This can release bins if your package has bins, or release a lib if your package is a lib package.

Hint

• automatically uses sccache, no need to set twice
• Now the archive format is not choosable: zip for windows and tar.gz for other systems. (request a feature if you want to change it :)
