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.
You can also publish an action from a specific release in Mercado GitHub. For more information, see "Publishing an action in the Mercado GitHub."
You can choose whether Almacenamiento de archivos de gran tamaño Git (Git LFS) objects are included in the ZIP files and tarballs that GitHub creates for each release. For more information, see "Managing Git LFS objects in archives of your repository."
