• The Docker image is build as linux/amd64 (see Development)
• The canonical version points to the latest release eg. v0 points to 0.X.0 (See: Versioning)
• Move the canonical tag on the action (rojopolis/spellcheck-github-actions@v0)

Publishing to the GitHub Marketplace

The publishing process is completed using the release process on GitHub, so first you tag the repository and then you outline the release.

Moving the canonical tag

Example is using v0 (the only canonical version at the time of writing)

Remove local tag

git tag -d v0  

Remove remote tag

git push origin --delete v0

Make new tag and push it to remote

git tag -a v0
git push --tags
