# Weekly Release Tagging and Beta Deployment Workflow | |
# =================================================== | |
# Purpose: | |
# - Automate weekly version tagging for consistent software versioning | |
# - Trigger automated beta releases across multiple platforms | |
# - Maintain a predictable release cycle | |
# Workflow Overview: | |
# - Runs automatically every Sunday at 4:00 AM UTC | |
# - Supports manual triggering via workflow_dispatch | |
# - Utilizes Gradle Reckon plugin for intelligent versioning | |
# - Triggers multi-platform build and publish workflow | |
# Key Features: | |
# - Automatic semantic versioning | |
# - Cross-platform release automation | |
# - Configurable target branch for releases | |
# - Full repository history checkout for accurate versioning | |
# Versioning Strategy: | |
# - Uses Reckon Gradle plugin for semantic versioning | |
# - Generates production-ready (final) version tags | |
# - Provides consistent and predictable version incrementation | |
# Release Process: | |
# 1. Checkout repository with full commit history | |
# 2. Setup Java 17 development environment | |
# 3. Create and push new version tag | |
# 4. Trigger multi-platform build and publish workflow | |
# Prerequisites: | |
# - Gradle project configured with Reckon plugin | |
# - Java 17 development environment | |
# - Configured multi-platform build workflow | |
# - GitHub Actions permissions for workflow dispatch | |
# Workflow Inputs: | |
# - target_branch: Branch to use for releases (default: 'dev') | |
# Allows flexible release targeting across different branches | |
# Security Considerations: | |
# - Uses GitHub's native GITHUB_TOKEN for authentication | |
# - Controlled workflow dispatch with specific inputs | |
# - Limited to authorized repository members | |
# Potential Use Cases: | |
# - Regular software release cycles | |
# - Automated beta testing distributions | |
# - Consistent multi-platform deployment | |
# Workflow Triggers: | |
# - Scheduled weekly run (Sunday 4:00 AM UTC) | |
# - Manual workflow dispatch | |
# - Callable from other workflows | |
