GitHub Action to Add Release Metadata to The IOTA Tangle

This GitHub Action will take the contents of your GitHub tagged release and create an associated transaction on the IOTA Tangle. This way the data associated with the release becomes immutable.

The action will perform the following steps:

Load the release tagged by the input tag_name
Create a signature for the content of tarball_url
Create a signature for the content of zipball_url
Create a signature for each of the attached assets
Attach a payload to the IOTA Tangle with information about the release and the hashes

Inputs

tag_name: The name of the tag for this release
comment: An optional comment to include in the Tangle payload

Outputs

tx_hash: The hash of the transaction on the Tangle
tx_explore_url: A url which can be used to explore the transaction on the Tangle
