Automate Linux Binary Publishing for Corpora CLI using GitHub Actions

[skyl]

Objective

Set up an automated workflow to build and publish a Linux binary for the corpora CLI located at py/packages/corpora_cli/main.py for each new commit to the main branch using GitHub Actions.

Goals

1. Leverage PyInstaller to create a Linux binary automatically.
2. Trigger the build process on every commit to the main branch and publish the resultant binary.

Context

• The CLI is configurable through the environment variables, defaulting to localhost.
• The focus is solely on Linux binary creation for now; cross-platform binaries are not within the current scope.

Proposed Steps

1. GitHub Actions Setup:

   • Develop a workflow that executes on each commit to main.
   • Use PyInstaller to build the Linux binary.
   • Implement steps to upload the created binary as an artifact.

2. Artifact Publishing:

   • Ensure the workflow publishes the binary as a GitHub Actions artifact for straightforward access.

This task will enable automated packaging and distribution of the CLI, simplifying installation for Linux users.

Actually, get this. You can just clone corpora and run it locally with a devcontainer and download a fresh linux build via the dev server #38
