Add RegisterAction

[prbzrg]

It helps to create and register new releases.

Thanks, we are aware of this option but it is still unclear what the optimal design is, or whether we want to transfer the package to the JuliaDiff organization / merge it with AbstractDifferentiation. If we do decide to release, we'll definitely use that action!

Is this action even required when using the Julia Registrator? I've never had to use this action before.

[prbzrg]

The action is like an interface for Registrator. It facilitates version increasing and prompting Registrator before registration.

Using Registrator, I already just have to comment @ JuliaRegistrator register on a commit to register a new version. What does this action add?

[prbzrg]

It gives you an interface in Github Action page that gets "major", "minor", or "patch" as the version input (or the literal version)

then creates a new bump version commit with @ JuliaRegistrator register

Thanks, TIL!

[gdalle]

me too!

[prbzrg]

now DI is having its second release. are you still considering this?

And having TagBot also helps.

RegistrationAction can indeed help, but TagBot is apparently broken for packages located in subdirectories.
