Automating Releases with CI/CD
Build a pipeline that automatically packages, signs, and publishes your Electron app across platforms, tying together packaging, signing, and distribution.
Why Automate Releases
Manual builds are error-prone and slow. A CI/CD pipeline produces consistent, signed artifacts for every platform on every tag.
Trigger on Tags
Run the release pipeline when you push a version tag, keeping day-to-day commits fast.
function isReleaseTag(ref) {
return /^refs\/tags\/v\d+\.\d+\.\d+$/.test(ref);
}
console.log(isReleaseTag('refs/tags/v1.2.0'));All lessons in this course
