> Generate a URL for opening a new GitHub release with prefilled tag, body, and other fields
GitHub supports prefilling a new release by setting [certain search parameters](https://github.com/isaacs/github/issues/1410#issuecomment-442240267). This package simplifies generating such URL.
## Install
```sh
$ npm install new-github-release-url
```
## Usage
```js
import newGithubReleaseUrl from 'new-github-release-url';
import open from 'open';
const url = newGithubReleaseUrl({
user: 'sindresorhus',
repo: 'new-github-release-url',
body: '\n\n\n---\nI\'m a human. Please be nice.'
});
//=> 'https://github.com/sindresorhus/new-github-release-url/releases/new?body=%0A%0A%0A---%0AI%27m+a+human.+Please+be+nice.'
// Then open it
await open(url);
```
