Also creating annotated tags locally and pushing them to github creates releases automatically, attaching the annotated tag’s commit message by default.
If the annotated tag is also gpg signed, that seems like a very convenient way to do trusted releases, while still able to move off github if needed. uto, 28. stu 2017. u 09:22 David Chisnall <[email protected]> napisao je: > On 27 Nov 2017, at 22:58, Sergii Stoian <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Hi David, > > > > On Mon, Nov 27, 2017 at 7:57 PM, David Chisnall <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Hi, > > > > This looks very nice, but a few comments: > > > > - Apple still owns the NeXT trademark, so be careful about using NEXT in > the name. > > > > I think it is exactly the "NeXT" right?
