The GitHub API won't show unpublished releases, i.e., if you do\r\n`curl -s \"https://api.github.com/repos/GoogleCloudPlatform/PerfKitBenchmarker/releases\"`, it shows an empty list, and\r\n`curl -s \"https://api.github.com/repos/GoogleCloudPlatform/PerfKitBenchmarker/releases/latest\"` gets a 404, whereas if you run it against a repo that _publishes_ releases (e.g. kubernetes), you get the latest version, which is very convenient for users to keep up to date.\r\n\r\nI was wondering if you intended not to _publish_ releases for some reason.\r\n\r\nRef: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26140372/cannot-get-releases-for-a-repo-with-the-github-api"}}
