Auto Push Winget releases via github action workflow

[jo-chemla]

A few months back, I made a PR to microsoft/winget-pkgs repo so simple-http-server can be installed by your user-base from windows package manager, winget, via a simple command: winget install TheWaWaR.simple-http-server

It could be useful to add a github action on this repo so that the winget package gets updated on every github release.

Describe the solution you'd like to see.

Here is a reference article based on Winget-Releaser@v2 Github Action
Below is an action yml files made to keep the winget package up-to-date on every github release, via Github Actions.

Requires:

• You will need to create a classic Personal Access Token (PAT) with public_repo scope.
• This token should be added as a repository secret by creating a new repo secret with name WINGET_ACC_TOKEN and value the token
• Fork microsoft/winget-pkgs under the same account/organization as the project's repository. If you are forking winget-pkgs on a different account (e.g. bot/personal account), you can use the fork-user input to specify the username of the account where the fork is present.

name: Publish to WinGet

    steps:

        with:

          token: ${{ secrets.WINGET_TOKEN }}
          installers-regex: 'windows*\.exe$'

Hi @TheWaWaR are you interested in a mini PR for this automated winget-release workflow? Or should I close this thread? Thanks!
