You can think of it as a replacement to using downloads to provide software.\n\nWith Releases, you can provide links to binary files, as well as release notes describing your changes.\n\nAt their core, Releases are based on Git tags. Tags mark a specific point in the history of your project, so they're a great way to indicate a Release. Releases are ordered by a tag's date in the following way:\n\nIf it's an annotated tag, the tag object's date is used.\nIf it's a lightweight tag, then the commit object's date is used.\n\n### :keyboard: Activity: Creating a release\n\n1. On GitHub, navigate to the main page of the repository.\n1. Under your repository name, click **Releases**.\n1. Click **Draft a new release**.\n1. Type a version number for your release. Versions are based on [Git tags](https://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Basics-Tagging). We recommend naming tags that fit within [semantic versioning](http://semver.org/).\n1. Select a branch that contains the project you want to release. Usually, you'll want to release against your master branch, unless you're releasing beta software.\n1. Type a title and description that describes your release.\n\n    > If you'd like to include binary files along with your release, such as compiled programs, drag and drop or select files manually in the binaries box.\n\n    > If the release is unstable, select **This is a pre-release** to notify users that it's not ready for production.\n\n1. If you're ready to publicize your release, click **Publish release**. Otherwise, click **Save draft** to work on it later.\n\nYou can create releases from the GitHub user interface. [Read this detailed documentation](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-releases/) when you're ready to implement releases.\n\n<hr>\n<h3 align=\"center\">I won't respond to this issue, just close it when you are done!</h3>\n"}}
