> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/19298) in GitLab 13.2.
Use `release` to create a [release](../../user/project/releases/index.md).
Requires the [`release-cli`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release-cli/-/tree/master/docs)
to be available in your GitLab Runner Docker or shell executor.
These keywords are supported:
The release job must have access to [`release-cli`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release-cli/-/tree/master/docs)
when it runs. When using a runner with:
- The [Docker executor](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/docker.html), use
[`image:`](#image) and a Docker image that includes `release-cli`. For example,
this image from the GitLab.com Container registry: `registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release-cli:latest`
- The [Shell executor](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/shell.html), the server
where the runner is registered must [have `release-cli` installed](../../user/project/releases/release_cli.md).
**Keyword type**: Job keyword. You can use it only as part of a job.
**Possible inputs**: The `release:` subkeys:
- [`tag_name`](#releasetag_name)
- [`description`](#releasedescription)

- [`released_at`](#releasereleased_at) (optional)
- [`assets:links`](#releaseassetslinks) (optional)
The release is created only if the job processes without error. If the Rails API
returns an error during release creation, the `release` job fails.
#### `release-cli` Docker image
You must specify the Docker image to use for the `release-cli`:
```yaml
image: registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release-cli:latest
```
#### `release-cli` for shell executors
> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release-cli/-/issues/21) in GitLab 13.8.
> - [Changed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release-cli/-/merge_requests/108): the `release-cli` binaries are also
[available in the Package Registry](https://gitlab.com/jaime/release-cli/-/packages)
starting from GitLab 14.2.
For GitLab Runner shell executors, you can download and install the `release-cli` manually for your [supported OS and architecture](https://release-cli-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/latest/index.html).
Once installed, the `release` keyword should be available to you.
**Install on Unix/Linux**
1. Download the binary for your system from S3, in the following example for amd64 systems:
```shell
curl --location --output /usr/local/bin/release-cli "https://release-cli-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/latest/release-cli-linux-amd64"
```
Or from the GitLab package registry:
```shell
curl --location --output /usr/local/bin/release-cli "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/gitlab-org%2Frelease-cli/packages/generic/release-cli/latest/release-cli-darwin-amd64"
```
1. Give it permissions to execute:
```shell
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/release-cli
```
1. Verify `release-cli` is available:
```shell
$ release-cli -v
release-cli version 0.6.0
```
**Install on Windows PowerShell**
1. Create a folder somewhere in your system, for example `C:\GitLab\Release-CLI\bin`
```shell
New-Item -Path 'C:\GitLab\Release-CLI\bin' -ItemType Directory
```
1. Download the executable file:
**Example of `release` keyword**:
```shell
PS C:\> Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://release-cli-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/latest/release-cli-windows-amd64.exe" -OutFile "C:\GitLab\Release-CLI\bin\release-cli.exe"
Directory: C:\GitLab\Release-CLI
Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
---- ------------- ------ ----
d----- 3/16/2021 4:17 AM bin
```
1. Add the directory to your `$env:PATH`:
```shell
$env:PATH += ";C:\GitLab\Release-CLI\bin"
```yaml
release_job:
stage: release
image: registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release-cli:latest
rules:
- if: $CI_COMMIT_TAG # Run this job when a tag is created manually
script:
- echo 'Running the release job.'
release:
name: 'Release $CI_COMMIT_TAG'
description: 'Release created using the release-cli.'
```
1. Verify `release-cli` is available:
This example creates a release:
```shell
PS C:\> release-cli -v
release-cli version 0.6.0
```
- When you push a Git tag.
- When you add a Git tag in the UI at **Repository > Tags**.
#### Use a custom SSL CA certificate authority
**Additional details**:
You can use the `ADDITIONAL_CA_CERT_BUNDLE` CI/CD variable to configure a custom SSL CA certificate authority,
which is used to verify the peer when the `release-cli` creates a release through the API using HTTPS with custom certificates.
The `ADDITIONAL_CA_CERT_BUNDLE` value should contain the
[text representation of the X.509 PEM public-key certificate](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7468#section-5.1)
or the `path/to/file` containing the certificate authority.
For example, to configure this value in the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file, use the following:
- All jobs except [trigger](#trigger) jobs must have the `script` keyword. A `release`
job can use the output from script commands, but you can use a placeholder script if
the script is not needed:
```yaml
release:
variables:
ADDITIONAL_CA_CERT_BUNDLE: |
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIGqTCCBJGgAwIBAgIQI7AVxxVwg2kch4d56XNdDjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQsFADCB
...
jWgmPqF3vUbZE0EyScetPJquRFRKIesyJuBFMAs=
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
```yaml
script:
- echo "Create release"
release:
name: 'My awesome release'
tag_name: '$CI_COMMIT_TAG'
```
The `ADDITIONAL_CA_CERT_BUNDLE` value can also be configured as a
[custom variable in the UI](../variables/index.md#custom-cicd-variables),
either as a `file`, which requires the path to the certificate, or as a variable,
which requires the text representation of the certificate.
#### `script`
All jobs except [trigger](#trigger) jobs must have the `script` keyword. A `release`
job can use the output from script commands, but you can use a placeholder script if
the script is not needed:
```yaml
script:
- echo 'release job'
```
An [issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/223856) exists to remove this requirement in an upcoming version of GitLab.
```
A pipeline can have multiple `release` jobs, for example:

#### Release assets as Generic packages
You can use [Generic packages](../../user/packages/generic_packages/) to host your release assets.
For a complete example, see the [Release assets as Generic packages](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release-cli/-/tree/master/docs/examples/release-assets-as-generic-package/)
project.
#### `release-cli` command line
The entries under the `release` node are transformed into a `bash` command line and sent
to the Docker container, which contains the [release-cli](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release-cli).
You can also call the `release-cli` directly from a `script` entry.
For example, if you use the YAML described previously:
```shell
release-cli create --name "Release $CI_COMMIT_SHA" --description "Created using the release-cli $EXTRA_DESCRIPTION" --tag-name "v${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${REVISION}" --ref "$CI_COMMIT_SHA" --released-at "2020-07-15T08:00:00Z" --milestone "m1" --milestone "m2" --milestone "m3" --assets-link "{\"name\":\"asset1\",\"url\":\"https://example.com/assets/1\",\"link_type\":\"other\"}
