If you're using PowerShell, you can do this with `$Path = $Path -replace '\\','/'`

+Note that if you intend to run workflows on the release event (`on: { release: { types: [published] } }`), you need to use
+a personal access token for this action, as the [default `secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN` does not trigger another workflow](https://github.com/actions/create-release/issues/71).
