PyPi: Deploy minor bump (Github Action)

Objective

The purpose of this github action is to implement a CD that automatically deploys a minor bump to PyPi.

How to use it

First, you should have a PyPI API key in your repository secrets. It should be named PYPI_API_TOKEN.

You need to add a tag with the version of your package to your repository. The version should be in X.X.X format (e.g., 0.0.0 for the very first version).

Add the following to your pyproject.toml:

[project]
name = "ADD_PROJECT_NAME"
dynamic = ["version"]

[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools>=45", "setuptools_scm[toml]>=6.2"]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"

[tool.setuptools_scm]

Other fields such as a description of the project can be added to the project section of this file. More details here.

No setup.py file is required anymore and it should be deleted

Add the following snippet of code in a file located in .github/workflows.

name: Deploy Minor Bump to PyPI

on:
  push:
    branches: [ main ]

jobs:
  minor-bump-project-deployment:
    uses: VisiumCH/deploy-to-pypi/.github/workflows/cd.yaml@main
    secrets: inherit

Finally, you need to make sure that your repository is granted access to a PyPI API key.
