feat: cut a release

We have a new GitHub action - called cut_release.

It is triggered manually from GitHub Actions.

We specify the version of the release we want to cut - and apply that to the master branch.

When we manually trigger the release, the action should:

• [ ] Change the tagged version in the helm chart.yaml https://github.com/TykTechnologies/tyk-operator/blob/master/helm/Chart.yaml#L5
• [ ] Tag the master branch & push the tags.

This will trigger a goreleaser github action / build pipeline to push to Dockerhub - once master branch is pushed.

---

The current flow is a little manual & as such, if i forget to bump the Chart.yaml or something - then my release is broken.

Love it.

@alephnull smth we talked about in context of manually running Github actions

To make sure I understand,

• I specify a version tag on the github UI (Release tag)
• The action then applies the tag I just specified into Charts.yaml and commits the change
• Then the existing goreleaser will take over

Have I got it right?

@alephnull that sounds perfect.

It may be better to just apply this logic to GoReleaser action anyway? I'll leave it to you to decide.

Yup, that's what I was thinking of doing. I'll remove the cut_release action.
