A GitHub Actions action that creates GitHub releases and optionally uploads build artifacts to them. It supports updating existing releases, release bodies from files, and glob-based artifact paths.
Use cases
- publish a github release from a ci workflow
- upload build artifacts to a github release
- automate release creation on tag push
- update an existing github release with new assets
- attach binaries to a release in github actions
- set release notes from a file in ci
When to choose
- you want to automate GitHub release creation and artifact uploads inside GitHub Actions
- you need idempotent releases that update existing releases or assets
- you want a simple, well-maintained action without writing API scripts
When to avoid
- you release to registries or package managers rather than GitHub releases
- you need releases outside GitHub Actions or on other CI platforms
- you need complex multi-step release orchestration beyond creating/uploading releases
