Franky focused on improving the reliability of the automated release workflow for the vantage6/vantage6 repository. During this period, he addressed a critical issue in the CI/CD pipeline by refining how the source branch is detected for tag-based releases. By replacing the use of 'git branch --contains' with 'git branch --points-at' in the release scripts, Franky ensured that the workflow accurately identifies the correct branch, reducing release failures and minimizing manual intervention. His work, implemented using Shell and YAML, enhanced the consistency of release provenance and contributed to more stable and predictable deployment processes across different environments.
