See the documentation:

• Metadata syntax
• Toolkit

Actions are run from GitHub repos so the branch which will be used at runtime needs to have the dist/ folder checked-in. It's recommended for users to only refer to released versions instead of consuming master directly.

The distribution is created with ncc which can be invoked via:

$ npm run package
$ git add dist
$ git commit -a -m "prod package"

Now to release a new minor/patch versions (replace .x.y as appropriate):

# update "version" property in `package.json`
$ npm install
$ npm run all
$ git add -A
$ git commit -v -m "Release v1.x.y"
$ git push
$ git tag -s v1.x.y
$ git tag -fs v1 -m "Update v1 tag"
$ git push --tags --force

For the tag to be published to marketplace you need to create a release from it which you can do by going into Releases in GitHub UI, then Tags and clicking the menu next to the newly created tag and select Create release. Alternatively use the URL (replace x.y as appropriate): https://github.com/mig4/setup-bats/releases/new?tag=v1.x.y

The action is now published! 🚀
