ModRelease - create new Github Release from commandline

Hi,

Script for creating new Github Release from commandline

Features:

• cross-platform, single code for Windows, macOS, and Linux
• release version (tag) is taken directly from tp2 file
• checking of the mod "VERSION" keyword, prevent creating "2.0.0" release when you mod version is "1.8.0"
• prevent creating new release if the same release already exist
• prevent creating new release if there are uncommitted file modifications
• release description can be edited before creating a new release
• initial release description is generated from commit messages between the new release and previous release

Prerequisites:

• Github account
• Github Personal Access Token" with "public_repo" privilege
• read Git and Github tutorial
• locally cloned mod repository

Requirements:

• Github Desktop
• additionally only for Windows 7/8.1 - either .NET Framework 4.5.2+ and Powershell 5.1 or Powershell 6
• additionally only for macOS, Linux - Powershell 6

Installation:

1. Download and extract ModRelease repository, move everything from 'ModRelease-master' folder directly into the folder where you keep all cloned top-level mod folders.
2. Create new "Personal Access Token" with "public_repo" privilege, it's not your password, you can revoke it at any time, more info here.
3. Save it to "#ModRelease-Github-Key-Example.txt" file and rename it to #ModRelease-Github-Key.txt
4. Put #ModRelease.bat/#ModRelease.command inside the top-level directory of the mod's cloned Github repository, it's where WeiDU executable should be, use the included mod example as reference.

Reference of the proper folder structure:

• Red - #ModRelease folder and #ModRelease.bat/#ModRelease.command files location
• Yellow - top-level folder of the local repository
• Green - .git folder location inside local repository

Usage:

1. Assuming that all mod files are ready for a new release, increase mod version inside mod readme and mod tp2 file.
2. Create a new commit with all modified files. Do not create a new tag for release, it will be created automatically as a 'mod version' and pushed into an online repository.
3. Run #ModRelease.bat (Windows) | #ModRelease.command (Mac) | #ModRelease.sh (Linux) and follow further instructions.
