COMMANDS

       With no arguments, shows a list of existing releases.

       show
           Show GitHub release notes for TAG.

           With --show-downloads, include the "Downloads" section.

       create
           Create a GitHub release for the specified TAG name. If git tag TAG does not exist, it
           will be created at TARGET (default: current branch).

       edit
           Edit the GitHub release for the specified TAG name. Accepts the same options as create
           command. Publish a draft with --draft=false.

           Without --message or --file, a text editor will open pre-populated with the current
           release title and body. To re-use existing title and body unchanged, pass -m "".

       download
           Download the assets attached to release for the specified TAG.

       delete
           Delete the release and associated assets for the specified TAG. Note that this does
           not remove the git tag TAG.

OPTIONS

       -d, --include-drafts
           List drafts together with published releases.

       -p, --exclude-prereleases
           Exclude prereleases from the list.

       -L, --limit
           Display only the first LIMIT releases.

       -d, --draft
           Create a draft release.

       -p, --prerelease
           Create a pre-release.

       -a, --attach FILE
           Attach a file as an asset for this release.

           If FILE is in the "filename#text" format, the text after the "#" character is taken as
           asset label.

       -m, --message MESSAGE
           The text up to the first blank line in MESSAGE is treated as the release title, and
           the rest is used as release description in Markdown format.

           When multiple --message are passed, their values are concatenated with a blank line
           in-between.

           When neither --message nor --file were supplied to release create, a text editor will
           open to author the title and description in.

       -F, --file FILE
           Read the release title and description from FILE. Pass "-" to read from standard input
           instead. See --message for the formatting rules.

       -e, --edit
           Open the release title and description in a text editor before submitting.  This can
           be used in combination with --message or --file.

       -o, --browse
           Open the new release in a web browser.

       -c, --copy
           Put the URL of the new release to clipboard instead of printing it.

       -t, --commitish TARGET
           A commit SHA or branch name to attach the release to, only used if TAG does not
           already exist (default: main branch).

       -i, --include PATTERN
           Filter the files in the release to those that match the glob PATTERN.

       -f, --format FORMAT
           Pretty print releases using FORMAT (default: "%T%n"). See the "PRETTY FORMATS" section
           of git-log(1) for some additional details on how placeholders are used in format. The
           available placeholders for issues are:

           %U: the URL of this release

           %uT: tarball URL

           %uZ: zipball URL

           %uA: asset upload URL

           %S: state (i.e. "draft", "pre-release")

           %sC: set color to yellow or red, depending on state

           %t: release name

           %pD: published date-only (no time of day)

           %pr: published date, relative

           %pt: published date, UNIX timestamp

           %pI: published date, ISO 8601 format

           %n: newline

           %%: a literal %

       --color[=WHEN]
           Enable colored output even if stdout is not a terminal. WHEN can be one of "always"
           (default for --color), "never", or "auto" (default).
