**github-generate-release** is the simplest way to create a GitHub Release.



  

  

  


  




It needs a GitHub token with `public_repo` permission, exposed as `GH_TOKEN` or `GITHUB_TOKEN` (see [example](https://github.com/Kikobeats/github-generate-release/blob/5a9db649b79ed0bb01194413e1dcc4818e82d155/.github/workflows/main.yml#L63)).

## Getting Started

Just call it and it will release the latest git tag created:

```sh

npx github-generate-release

```

That makes easy integrate it as part of a release workflow:

```json

{

  "release": "standard-version -a",

  "postrelease": "npm run release:tags && npm run release:github && npm publish",

  "release:tags": "git push --follow-tags origin HEAD:master",

  "release:github": "github-generate-release",

}

```

You can pass any flag supported by [GitHub API release endpoint](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/releases/releases?apiVersion=2022-11-28#create-a-release):

```sh

npx github-generate-release --draft

```

Alternatively, it can be used as Node.js module:

```js

const release = require('github-generate-release')

await release({ draft: true })

```
