Usage

First it assumes the presence of the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable (you also can create a local .env in the same folder of the package including it).

In your package.json add a postpublish scripts as it follows:

{
  "repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "https://github.com/repo-owner/repo-name"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "postpublish": "gh-release"
  }
}

You also can specify the target GitHub repository using the "--repo" argument:

{
  "scripts": {
    "postpublish": "gh-release --repo repo-owner/repo-name"
  }
}

You also can specify the target GitHub repository using the GITHUB_REPO environment variable

.env

GITHUB_TOKEN=XXXXXX
GITHUB_REPO=repo-owner/repo-name

{
  "scripts": {
    "postpublish": "gh-release"
  }
}
