What GitHub Release does

GitHub Release sanitizes a project before public release by checking for secrets, personal artifacts, and missing release files. It then creates a version tag and publishes a GitHub release with gh CLI.

GitHub Release is cataloged under DevOps on DirSkills. GitHub Release comes from a repository tagged ai, anthropic, automation, claude-code and claude-skills.
