nope, if you take a look at my action, there is no checkout step.

does not make sense to checkout the repo since i dont have any configuration in it at all. I want the deploy to happen on railway.

i have a docker image and pg deployed on railway so i should be able to trigger deployments from CI, right?

i feel like im missing some context here, what do you hope to achieve running railway up without a project

the docker image is set up to use :latest on Railway. So once the docker image is published (docker-release job in my workflow file), I want to deploy the latest tag on railway too.
