+# CI that:
+#
+# * checks for a Git Tag that looks like a release ("v1.2.0")
+# * creates a Github Release™️
+# * builds binaries/packages with cargo-dist
+# * uploads those packages to the Github Release™️
+#
+# Note that the Github Release™️ will be created before the packages,
+# so there will be a few minutes where the release has no packages
+# and then they will slowly trickle in, possibly failing. To make
+# this more pleasant we mark the release as a "draft" until all
+# artifacts have been successfully uploaded. This allows you to
+# choose what to do with partial successes and avoids spamming
+# anyone with notifications before the release is actually ready.

+# This task will run whenever you push a git tag that looks like
+# a version number. We just look for `v` followed by at least one number
+# and then whatever. so `v1`, `v1.0.0`, and `v1.0.0-prerelease` all work.
+#
+# If there's a prerelease-style suffix to the version then the Github Release™️
+# will be marked as a prerelease (handled by taiki-e/create-gh-release-action).
+#
+# Note that when generating links to uploaded artifacts, cargo-dist will currently
+# assume that your git tag is always v{VERSION} where VERSION is the version in
+# the published package's Cargo.toml (this is the default behaviour of cargo-release).
+# In the future this may be made more robust/configurable.
