v2.6.0

Automation, more dev tools & better console printing

Automation for dependency inclusion and more have been improved with several workflows.
Pylint, Mypy, bandit and safety have been added as CI developer tools for an improved Python code base.
When printing to the console from Python, the buffer is immediately flushed, having the effect that the GitHub Actions console immediately receives the printed statements (configuration overview and status updates) as they happen, instead of printing everything when the Python code exits.

  • pre-commit~=2.15
• Update pre-commit hook black to v21.9b0.
• Silence HTML code linting in README.md.

Updates:

• Do not remove locally created tags before pushing (#45, @THuppke).
• Update requests dependency to ~=2.26 (#44).

  This is a much slimmer image, leading to a speed up in action build time.

Developer changes:

• Use action in new release workflow for updating tags and Python package version (#20)
• Update job names for CI tests of different actions/checkout versions (#21)

v2.0.0

The inputs have had a makeover. The action is now mirroring ´ad-m/github-push-action` in terms of inputs (see the new "Usage" section in the README).

The recommended way to use the action is now:

1. Use actions/checkout.
2. Perform changes, commit, update/create tags.
3. Push to a protected branch with this action.

Now, when pushing to a non-protected branch it will skip a lot of steps needed to push to protected branches making it faster. It will also ignore inputs related only to protected branches (like unprotect_reviews).

v1.0.1

The main point of this patch update is the fix of unprotect_reviews (see #9).

In other news:

• Split pip dependencies out of setup.py to requirements*.txt files in order to add dependabot.
• Update README with mention of adding push-action/ to workflows, which is not needed if the workflow is run unconditionally for any and all push events.
