gh-release: Display information about a specific release.
$ gh release view ${tag}
try on your machine

The command "gh release view ${tag}" is used to view information about a specific release on GitHub. Here's an explanation of the different components:

  • "gh" is the command-line interface (CLI) tool called GitHub CLI, which allows you to interact with GitHub from your terminal.
  • "release" is a subcommand that focuses on releasing functionality within the GitHub CLI.
  • "view" is a subcommand of "release" that allows you to view information about a specific release.
  • ${tag} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual tag of the release you want to view.

When you run this command with the proper tag, it will retrieve and display details about the specified release, including the release assets, release notes, and other relevant information like the release title, author, creation date, etc. This command helps you quickly access the necessary information about a release without navigating to the GitHub website.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
