Let's automate one more thing
summary
Demo shows a concrete release pipeline that builds a Docker container, uploads static artifacts to GitHub Releases and Netlify, and publishes versioned ZIPs and Docker packages for each tag. It automates semantic-versioned releases, generates release notes via the Releases API, and keeps every deploy as an atomic artifact (example: v1.31). The project powering this is opensource.pizza, wired with GitHub Actions and GitHub Releases to produce reproducible, downloadable builds across 31 repos.
