GCLI-RELEASES(1) General Commands Manual GCLI-RELEASES(1) NAME gcli releases -- manage releases on git forges SYNOPSIS gcli releases [-sl] [-n n] [-o owner -r repo] gcli releases create -t tagname [-n name] [-c commitish] [-a asset] [-o owner -r repo] [-d] [-p] [-T template-file.md] gcli releases delete [-o owner -r repo] [-y] release-id DESCRIPTION Use gcli releases to list, create or delete releases for repositories on git(1) forges such as GitLab, Gitea or GitHub. Without a subcommand specified, gcli releases will list releases in the given or auto-de- tected repository. If you are the owner of that repo, you will also see draft releases. You will not see those if you are not the owner of that particular repository. OPTIONS -s, --sorted Reverse the output such that most recent items appear at the bottom. -l, --long Print a long list instead of a short table. -o, --owner owner List releases in the repo of the given owner. This option can only be used in combination with -r. -r, --repo repo List releases in the given repo. This option can only be used in combination with -o. -n, --count n Fetch at least n releases. Setting n to -1 will fetch all re- leases. Default: 30. Note that on repositories with many re- leases fetching all releases can take a considerable amount of time and may result in rate limiting by the GitHub API. SUBCOMMANDS create Create a new release on the given or auto-detected repository. The editor will come up and ask you to enter a message for the release. The following flags can be specified: -t, --tag tagname Specify a tag to be used or to be created for the re- lease. This option is mandatory. See -c for how to specify from what the tag should be created. -n, --name name Name of the release. -c, --commitish commitish When a new tag is to be created, this specifies what the tag is based on. It can be either a branch or a commit hash. Unused if the tag already exists. Other- wise this defaults to the default branch from git(1). -o, --owner owner Operate on the repository of the specified owner. This option can only be used in combination with -r. Use this if you want to e.g. create the release in an or- ganisation and not your own account. -r, --repo repo Create the release in the given repository. This option can only be used in combination with -o. -a, --asset asset Attach the given asset to the release. It will be up- loaded to GitHub and be made available for download. You can specify this option multiple times to attach more than one asset to the release. -y, --yes Do not ask for confirmation before creating the re- lease. Assume yes. -d, --draft Mark this release as a draft. -p, --prerelease Mark this release as a prerelease. -T, --template template-file.md Use the provided template-file.md as a template for the release message. Unless -y has been specified, an edi- tor will be opened to edit a copy of this file. Using this option together with -y allows for completely au- tomated creation of releases. delete Delete a release. The following options can be specified: -r, --repo repo Delete the release in the given repository. This option can only be used in combination with -o. -o, --owner owner Delete the release in the repository of the given owner. This option can only be used in combination with -r. Use this if you want to delete a release in a given organisation and not your own account. -y, --yes Do not ask for confirmation before deleting the reposi- tory. Assume yes. EXAMPLES Delete release with ID 54656866 in herrhotzenplotz/gcli-playground without asking for confirmation: $ gcli releases delete --owner herrhotzenplotz \ --repo gcli-playground --yes 54656866 Create a new release named Foobar in herrhotzenplotz/gcli-playground. Create a new tag called banana based on the commit with the hash 0fed3c9 and upload foobar.tar.xz, barfoo.tar.gz and CHANGELOG as assets to the release. $ gcli releases create --owner herrhotzenplotz \ --repo gcli-playground --tag banana --name Foobar \ --commitish 0fed3c9 --asset foobar.tar.xz \ --asset barfoo.tar.gz --asset CHANGELOG Create a release called "v2.8.0" from a pre-existing tag. Read the re- lease notes from the file relnotes.md and do not ask for confirmation. $ gcli releases create --tag v2.8.0 --name 'Version 2.8.0' \ --commitish v2.8.0 --template relnotes.md --yes SEE ALSO git(1), gcli(1) AUTHORS Nico Sonack aka. herrhotzenplotz <nsonack@herrhotzenplotz.de> and con- tributors. BUGS Currently uploading release assets to GitLab doesn't work. Prereleases and draft releases are unsupported by GitLab. Using those flags in a GitLab forge type remote will produce warnings but still create the re- lease. Please report bugs via E-Mail to https://lists.sr.ht/~herrhotzenplotz/gcli-discuss. Alternatively you can report them on any of the forges linked at https://sr.ht/~herrhotzenplotz/gcli. However, the preferred and quick- est method is to use the mailing list. gcli 2.9.1 04-Oct-2025 GCLI-RELEASES(1)
