Managing releases in a repository

About release management

You can create new releases with release notes, @mentions of contributors, and links to binary files, as well as edit or delete existing releases.

On your GitHub Enterprise Server instance, navigate to the main page of the repository.
To the right of the list of files, click Releases.
Click Draft a new release.
Type a version number for your release. Alternatively, select an existing 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.
Type a title and description for your release.
Optionally, to include binary files such as compiled programs in your release, drag and drop or manually select files in the binaries box.
To notify users that the release is not ready for production and may be unstable, select This is a pre-release.
If you're ready to publicize your release, click Publish release. To work on the release later, click Save draft.

To learn more about GitHub CLI, see "About GitHub CLI."

To create a release, use the gh release create subcommand. Replace tag with the desired tag for the release.
```
gh release create tag
```
Follow the interactive prompts. Alternatively, you can specify arguments to skip these prompts. For more information about possible arguments, see the GitHub CLI manual. For example, this command creates a prerelease with the specified title and notes.
```
gh release create v1.3.2 --title "v1.3.2 (beta)" --notes "this is a beta release" --prerelease
```

On your GitHub Enterprise Server instance, navigate to the main page of the repository.
To the right of the list of files, click Releases.
On the right side of the page, next to the release you want to edit, click Edit release.
Edit the details for the release in the form, then click Update release.

Releases cannot currently be edited with GitHub CLI.

On your GitHub Enterprise Server instance, navigate to the main page of the repository.
To the right of the list of files, click Releases.
Click the name of the release you wish to delete.
In the upper-right corner of the page, click Delete.
Click Delete this release.

To delete a release, use the gh release delete subcommand. Replace tag with the tag of the release to delete. Use the -y flag to skip confirmation.
```
gh release delete tag -y
```
