Research direction

Start by reading the existing workflows under .github/workflows, especially any release/tag workflow and the CI setup that already stores SNOPT secrets. Compare that with the linked GitHub Actions/PyPI publishing example, then add a workflow triggered by a tagged release that builds and publishes the package using a stored PyPI token. Done means a tag can publish automatically without manual admin updates, ideally verified with a test release or dry run.

Description

request
Desired capability or behavior.

When a tagged release is created on github, it would be helpful for PyPi to automatically get sent that release, rather than relying on the OM group admin to manually update

Suggested implementation.

There are probably several ways to accomplish this. I found a demonstration using github actions on this website:
https://jackwhitworth.com/blog/automatically-update-pypi-on-github-release/

That may be applicable to our use case - all it would require is PyPi login info to be added to the secrets, which I believe we already use for SNOPT in CI testing?
