Godot Asset Store Auto Release

WARNING: this was vibecoded

This pipeline will automatically publish an update to your asset on the Godot asset store when you create a new release in github.

Setup

Copying the scripts

Start by copying the script publish_godot_asset.sh and the pipeline publish-godot-asset.yml with the same structure as this repository.

.gitattributes

As told to me by a person from the godot asset store your zip needs to contain the structure /addons/addonName/addonContent and they would like us to include the LICENSE file in the release too. Here is my .gitattributes file that only exports the /addons folder and LICENSE file :

/**        export-ignore
/addons    !export-ignore
/addons/** !export-ignore
/LICENSE   !export-ignore

Secrets

Next you need to go to https://github.com/{your username}/{your repo name}/settings/secrets/actions and add the following secrets :

GODOT_STORE_SESSION
