You mean:

  1. Instead of .tar.gz,
  2. Duplicate all files to be compressed with both, or
  3. Specify on per-file basis

?

Well, it depends, and I believe it should be optional.

  1. For the consistency purpose, the app should generate .tar.gz and not .tgz
  2. Not everybody may want to have both versions of the artifact, so it can be set through a flag, which has options of zip, .tar.gz and both
  3. I believe it would be overkill

The thing is that .zip is only popular on Windows AFAIK, while .tar.gz is the default on all linuxes, and MacOS.

From what I remember, the only usage of .zip I've seen here is for windows-specific resources, ex: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/releases/tag/v0.7.1-beta (scroll all the way down).

Anyway, I need to think about it more, and in the meantime you can zip them beforehand, and then use gzip: false :).

I hear you, and you are right about .zip. But please remember that .tar.gz is default on Linux, where .zip is default on Windows. And there is excellent reasoning behind the scene why GitHub provides both of them. Your GitHub Action is the number 1 for releasing at this point with all the features it has, let's not give it away because you are not a Windows user ;-) I hope this will convince you, looking forward to seeing it.
