modpack but only one mod

[sofar]

since there's only one mod in this modpack, why not just make it a non-modpack mod? easier to install, less files to maintain.

lf you click on download and unpack the archive, the mod's name would contain disallowed letters l think.

There's a good way around that: Create a release, and then "edit" that release and manually upload a proper zip file. This way you get to determine the layout of the file and can omit any illegal characters.

example: https://github.com/sofar/sedimentology-mt/releases

But you don't get the newest version of the mod if you download it there, do you?

No. If you don't make many changes that's no big deal, it's easy enough
to do anyway. If you do make a lot of changes, you may actually want to
tag your release versions so people know that they are not just
downloading some random development version that isn't ready for
end-user deployment. So generally, that's not a bad thing.

ls it possible to make a simple .sh file to automatically make a new release after pushing?

This is what makefiles do for you. Here's what I use in one of my mods:

Just need to change the zip command line options to meet your flavor. After that you just run make in the git folder and it creates a new zip file for you.
