For best support it is recommended to add a release workflow that will automatically package the plugin into a wordpress compatible zip file. The default github source archives cause irregular plugin folder naming during install and updates. There are some options of workflows in the examples directory. These workflows will create a release when a tag is pushed to the repo. The one with composer in the name will also add composer dependencies to the package. This will create a release asset in the format of [REPO_NAME]-[TAG_NAME].zip.
