Fully Automatic Releases (for book- repository series)

[mmcky]

Current the release of the book websites is a two step process:

1. Setup a sync- release on the private repo
2. Setup a publish- release on the public repo

This is not convenient. I have experimented with using gh cli to trigger releases on the public repository automatically but I haven't got the config correct after reading the github docs this morning.

We will need to

• [ ] setup a test repositry
• [ ] get gh cli working with ability to generate a release on another repo that will trigger an autobuild and publish.

Template action for test work.
