GitHub Action to create .streamDeckPlugin

From the Elgato Docs:

Describe the solution you'd like
A GitHub action that can run the DistributionTool and produce a .streamDeckPlugin binary.

Steps

  • Get the DistributionTool (Win or Mac)
  • Create/choose a folder to put the output in
  • run DistributionTool.exe -b -i com.elgato.counter.sdPlugin -o Release

This could then be added to other Actions like

I've never written a GHA, can you distribute binaries like the DistributionTool with it?
Would you just pull it from here and extract, seems a lot of work each time?


Tool Options

USAGE: DistributionTool [-h] [-b] [-v] [-i FILE] [-o DIRECTORY]

This tool can be used to validate and export plugins for the Elgato Stream Deck Plugin Store.

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS:
-b, --build                        Verify and build a plugin.
-v, --version                      The version number of this tool.
-h, --help                         This help dialog.
-i FILE, --input FILE              Path to the plugin (.sdPlugin).
-o DIRECTORY, --output DIRECTORY   Path to the output directory.

For updates and further help visit https://developer.elgato.com.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually running the above steps.

Additional context
I've emailed Elgato asking if they are likely to produce their own GHA and what the options will be to upload to the store.
