gh-release: Create a new release.
$ gh release create ${tag}
try on your machine

The command "gh release create ${tag}" is specific to the "gh" command-line tool, which is the official GitHub CLI. This command is used to create a new release on a GitHub repository.

Here's a breakdown of the different components of the command:

  • "gh": This is the command-line tool that provides an interface to GitHub functionality.
  • "release create": This is the specific command within "gh" that is used for creating a new release.
  • "${tag}": This is a placeholder for the actual tag name you want to use for the release. Tag names are typically used to mark specific versions or milestones in a repository. You need to replace "${tag}" with the desired tag name, such as "v1.0" or "beta-2".

When you run the "gh release create ${tag}" command, it will create a new release in the GitHub repository associated with your current working directory. The new release will have the specified tag name, and you can provide additional information like release notes, target commit, or branch.
