This repository provides a composite GitHub Action, a type of action that packages multiple regular actions into a single step. We do this to make the GitHub Actions workflows of all our software projects more consistent and easier to maintain. You can learn more about composite actions in the GitHub documentation.

Create new releases using the GitHub Releases UI and assign a tag with a semantic version, including a v prefix. Choose the semantic version based on compatibility for users of this workflow. If backwards compatibility is broken, bump the major version.

When a release is made, a new major version tag (i.e. v1, v2) is also made or moved using nowactions/update-majorver. We generally expect that most users will track these major version tags.
