Automate new releases and asciinema Gifs

[sahansk2]

The automated demo on the README is difficult to test right now - we can only tell if there's an error when we try to push a new version, but if there's an error and we push a fix to previewgif.sh, if the fix for previewgif.sh is on an untagged commit, then GitHub Actions won't even try to generate the automated demo. This is a hassle, and the way to fix this would be to update the CI workflow that triggers when we want to create a new release.
This is what the workflow would look like:

• We update the Git Gud version on our end (modify version.txt)
• We push to GH actions

Here's the skeleton of the GitHub Action that's triggered:

• If GH actions notices that the version number has been updated (via comparing commit files)
• • Generate the asciinema
• • Update asciinema version, which seems to be some kind of generated artifact from CI
• • Create a PR to master
• • merge the PR that we just generated
• If the asciinema_version == version.txt and version.txt isn't an actual version
• • Tag the current version
• • Publish to pypi

This is a rough skeleton - there may be some intermediate steps but this is the main gist of it.

There's probably a way to leveraging existing workflows and conditionally running them using the GitHub Action parameter workflow_run.

Lastly, I made a StackOverflow post when I first had to create this automated GIF: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53969566/how-can-i-use-scripting-automation-to-record-asciinema-recordings. This could be helpful if you're tackling this issue. I also discovered a program terminalizer much later that might be worth looking into.
