Releases

You can turn any git tag into a release, by adding a note to it. Release notes behave like any other markdown form in GitLab so you can write text and drag-n-drop files to it. Release notes are stored in the database of GitLab.

There are several ways to add release notes:

  • In the interface, when you create a new git tag with GitLab
  • In the interface, by adding a note to an existing git tag
  • with the GitLab API
