Stop manually publishing your modules. Automate it in 2 minutes!
summary
Promise: publish a PowerShell module automatically end to end in minutes using a GitHub template and Actions. The demo uses GitHub Actions, a repo template that creates workflows for build/test and build/test/deploy, installs Pester and PSScriptAnalyzer, auto-bumps semantic versions and tags git, stores the PowerShell Gallery API key in repo secrets, runs cross‑platform smoke tests (Ubuntu Mac Windows PS5.1), publishes a prerelease, waits for approver to promote to stable, and succeeds.
