Reminder to all repository users: Please do not add , commit and push any data files to your remote git repositories. The disk space the Git server is limited, it wasn't dimensioned to host anything else than code. Solely your code files need versioning. The data inputs/outputs don't. A good idea is to do "git add" individually on each file you want to commit, to avoid versioning unwanted content.

Releases

You can turn any git tag into a release, by adding a note to it. Release notes behave like any other markdown form in GitLab so you can write text and drag-n-drop files to it. Release notes are stored in the database of GitLab.

There are several ways to add release notes:

In the interface, when you create a new git tag with GitLab
In the interface, by adding a note to an existing git tag
with the GitLab API

New tag page with release notes text area

Tags page with button to add or edit release notes for existing git tag
