Add GitHub Actions workflow

[thethiny]

Whenever any .py file gets updated, a new release is automatically deployed. The only thing missing here is the names db3 file which you can push somewhere and have it be pulled.

Looks good overall but may be better to update a nightly release rather than new+tag instead. Another manual job could make a new tagged/proper release instead, or I can keep doing it manually I guess.

Main reason I don't do new releases often is that testing isn't easy and wwiser wonky/complex, so new changes "work" but are kind of wip until I try some more games or encounter edge cases. Plus the userbase is minuscule so new releases for minor typos/doc feel kind of silly.

If you prefer this to be a nightly I can work something out. It's your repo and I love CI/CD so just let me know what you prefer 👍🏻

Thanks, I think buidling to a nightly release would be preferable since it allows me to decide when a release is "stable", plus having "numbered"/tagged releases on every commit feels kind of intimidating.

For reference in vgmstream I made a fixed release that a script updates but there is probably an easier/cleaner way to achieve that, but I didn't delve into it too much.

@bnnm I have added 2 workflows, Nightly and Stable, and have tested both on thethiny/test_actions as nightly and stable.

Let me know if it's something you like or if you want to modify it further, or simply abort the idea altogether.

At a glance looks good but give me some more time until I review and understand the implications.

(but basically I prefer a model like duckstation with one nightly rather than pcsx2 with many micro releases)

I've done that in which you can see here. It is one nightly tagged as latest-nightly, but whenever there's a new nightly it just renames the previous nightly to the new one, so you only end up with 1 nightly at a time.

You can also validate that by the fact that the nightly is tagged 3 days ago but the file is a few minutes ago

At a glance looks good but give me some more time until I review and understand the implications.

Of course! Your tools have helped me and I would love to be able to help back.

Wanted to do some local tests but guess I'll just accept this and see how it goes, can always be tweaked later.

@bnnm I hope this can be useful to you. If you encounter any issues or behavior changes please let me know so I can update that for you 👍🏻
