Why GitHub Releases?

August 04, 2017 – posted by   George Adams

• Releases are GitHub’s way of packaging and providing software to your users.
• With Releases, you can provide links to binary files, as well as release notes describing your changes.
• There are no limits on the total number of files uploaded per release except that each individual file must be under 2GB in size.
• Release links can be accessed using the GitHub api including useful extras such as download stats.
