Create and push

$ git release [version] --push

SYNOPSIS

git release [options] version

git release creates a release by tagging the current commit with the specified version number and pushing the tag (and any pending commits) to the remote. It is part of the git-extras suite of utilities and streamlines the release workflow by combining tag creation, optional signing, and publishing in one operation.Common usage follows semantic versioning (e.g., `git release 1.2.3`). The command creates an annotated tag, which can include release notes via the `-m` option and cryptographic signing via `-s` for verification.

PARAMETERS

-m, --message text

Tag message.

--push

Push after tagging.

-s, --sign

Sign tag.

CAVEATS

Requires git-extras to be installed; this command is not part of core Git. Tags are pushed to the configured remote, which may trigger CI/CD release pipelines.
