## 项目历史与用法

github-release is a Go command-line utility for creating, editing, deleting, inspecting, and uploading files to GitHub Releases. It belongs to the early generation of single-purpose release automation tools that wrapped GitHub's Releases API before GitHub's own CLI became the default tool for many workflows.

### 项目历史

The project repository was created in January 2014, soon after GitHub exposed Releases as an API-backed feature. Its README framed the tool as a friendlier alternative to doing release and artifact work with raw HTTP requests, especially because uploads require resolving release identifiers before attaching files.

The project retained a narrow scope: tags and releases stay in GitHub, while the CLI handles the API calls needed to create release records, edit metadata, upload artifacts, and delete releases. Copyright notices in the README identify Nicolas Hillegeer for the original 2014-2017 period and Meter, Inc. for later maintenance.

### 采用历史

github-release became useful in build scripts that produced binaries before GitHub Actions and the GitHub CLI were widely adopted. Its packaging in Homebrew and Nix reflects the role it played for developers who wanted a small standalone executable rather than a larger platform CLI.

The tool's continued packaging gives older CI and release scripts a stable command name. That matters for projects that still publish GitHub Release assets from Makefiles, shell scripts, or external CI systems.

### 使用方式

Practitioners use github-release by exporting a GitHub token, tagging and pushing a repository, then running subcommands such as `release`, `edit`, `upload`, `delete`, and `info`. The README also documents `GITHUB_API`, which lets the same workflow target a GitHub Enterprise API endpoint.

### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心

For package maintainers, github-release is notable because it automates the exact step that many package recipes depend on: publishing versioned binary artifacts on GitHub Releases. It is a compact example of a tool whose job is not building software, but making the release surface predictable enough for downstream package managers.
