Make Github's release system make sense

jetmore commented 4 years ago

Given how I have swaks' repo laid out, the auto-release github is doing is confusing for end users. See #12.

Swaks' repo has development code, then at the time of release I generate the contents of the RELEASE dir, tag it, and push it. It's tagged as a release, so github auto-populates the release section. The problem is that it sees releases as the entire repo, where it really ought to just be the contents of RELEASE. See if I can mitigate this.

Preferentially, keep the feature but change it to only be RELEASE
If that can't work, just shut down the auto-release stuff altogether. Not having it at all would be better than the current system

Couldn't figure out how to make it useful based on how I handle releases in my own repo. Turned off the reference to releases in the side nav. The link to releases themselves still works (https://github.com/jetmore/swaks/releases) but maybe removing the link will help. Couldn't find any way to remove the entire system

I want to reexamine this. After looking at it a bit more I think I can make it useful
