Comment on Releases – a workflow for shipping software to end users

Comments

I see a problem with the current implementation: Releases are auto-generated from git tags. That means all tags you'll ever use on your repo will be auto-exposed as "release", even if the tag reads "dead_end_implementing_foo" or "before_major_rewrite". Tags are an implementors' tool, releases belong to product management. I want to be able to control my releases, so at least be able to delete auto-generated ones (without losing the git tag).
