 * Switches to `uses: ./` to use local version of action in all CI/CD scripts.
     This avoids the need to specify the action version within the CI/CD scripts and ensures that the current version is used.
 * Uses [GitHub CLI](https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_release_create) instead of [unmaintained `actions/create-release`](https://github.com/actions/create-release) both in README example and release script.
+* Adjusted `name` and `description` in YAML file to match requirements of GH marketplace.
