About:
GithubRelease is a command-line tool designed to automate the management of GitHub releases. It allows developers to programmatically create new releases, upload binary artifacts, and update release metadata. This tool is essential for streamlining CI/CD pipelines by enabling fully automated software distribution directly to GitHub.
Key Features:
  • Create and update releases via CLI
  • Upload binary assets and artifacts
  • Update release notes and metadata
  • Simple integration with CI/CD workflows
Use Cases:
  • Automating release uploads in CI/CD pipelines
  • Scripting bulk artifact management for repositories
  • Updating release notes programmatically
Alternatives:
  • gh – The official GitHub CLI offers release management but is a larger binary; github-release is a focused standalone tool.
  • hub – Hub is a wrapper around git with extended GitHub features, whereas github-release focuses specifically on release assets.
