Managing releases in a repository

Tip: You can also manage releases using the GitHub CLI. For more information, see "gh release" in the GitHub CLI documentation.

Creating a release

On GitHub Enterprise Server, navigate to the main page of the repository.
Under your repository name, click Releases.
Click Draft a new release.
Type a version number for your release. Versions are based on Git tags. We recommend naming tags that fit within semantic versioning.
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.

You can also automatically create a release from the command line or in a script. For more information, see "Releases."

On GitHub Enterprise Server, navigate to the main page of the repository.
Under your repository name, 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.

You must remove all binary files attached to a release before you can delete a release.
