With --show-downloads, include the "Downloads" section.

create

Create a GitHub release for the specified TAG name. If git tag TAG does not exist, it will be created at TARGET (default: current branch).

edit

Edit the GitHub release for the specified TAG name. Accepts the same options as create command. Publish a draft with --draft=false.

Without --message or --file, a text editor will open pre-populated with the current release title and body. To re-use existing title and body unchanged, pass -m "".

download

Download the assets attached to release for the specified TAG.

delete

Delete the release and associated assets for the specified TAG. Note that this does not remove the git tag TAG.

-d, --draft

-a, --attach FILE

Attach a file as an asset for this release.

If FILE is in the "filename#text" format, the text after the "#" character is taken as asset label.

-m, --message MESSAGE

The text up to the first blank line in MESSAGE is treated as the release title, and the rest is used as release description in Markdown format.

When neither --message nor --file were supplied to release create, a text editor will open to author the title and description in.

-F, --file FILE

Read the release title and description from FILE. Pass "-" to read from standard input instead. See --message for the formatting rules.
