new GitHub release upon every new ingest #70

t technically is a "new version" of the database once more data is added, but all the functionality is the same.

suggestion from @kelle : N.yyyy.m, where N is the structure version and yyyy.m is for data updates

arjunsavel commented 1 month ago

@kelle is this something we want to automate? I could imagine the following workflow:

user ingests new data
user updates tests so that they pass with new data
user pushes to github
github action waits for tests to pass, then, if there's new data, automatically makes a release

thoughts? is this overengineered?

kelle commented 1 month ago

An action which automatically makes a new release when there's new data is not a terrible idea. It makes less work for us! I don't have enough experience to know if it's over-engineering. I'm not sure if that's industry standard or not? @dr-rodriguez ?
