About automatically generated release notes
Automatically generated release notes provide an automated alternative to manually writing release notes for your GitHub releases. With automatically generated release notes, you can quickly generate an overview of the contents of a release. You can also customize your automated release notes, using labels to create custom categories to organize pull requests you want to include, and exclude certain labels and users from appearing in the output.
Creating automatically generated release notes for a new release
-
在 GitHub.com 上，导航到仓库的主页面。
-
To the right of the list of files, click Releases.
-
单击 Draft a new release（草拟新发行版）。
-
Click Choose a tag and type a version number for your release. Alternatively, select an existing tag.
-
If you are creating a new tag, click Create new tag.
-
If you have created a new tag, use the drop-down menu to select the branch that contains the project you want to release.
-
To the top right of the description text box, click Auto-generate release notes.
-
Check the generated notes to ensure they include all (and only) the information you want to include.
-
（可选）要在发行版中包含二进制文件（例如已编译的程序），请在二进制文件框中拖放或手动选择文件。
-
要通知用户发行版本尚不可用于生产，可能不稳定，请选择 This is a pre-release（这是预发布）。
-
（可选）选择 Create a discussion for this release（为此版本创建讨论），然后选择 Category（类别）下拉菜单，然后点击类别进行版本讨论。
-
如果您准备推广您的发行版，请单击 Publish release（发布版本）。 要在以后处理该发行版，请单击 Save draft（保存草稿）。
