jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Pull main branch
        run: |
          curl https://UI_BAKERY_INSTANCE/api/instance/app/APP_ID/pull?uib_branch=main \
            -X POST \
            -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
            -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN"
      - name: Create release from main branch
        run: |
          curl https://UI_BAKERY_INSTANCE/api/instance/app/APP_ID/release \
            -X POST \
            -d '{"version":"1.0.1", "prod": true, "staging": true, "description": "Automated release"}' \
            -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
            -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN"
