Getting your release link

Four steps, about ten minutes the first time. You need a free GitHub account. Pick how you work.

1Put your code on GitHuba repository holds your files
2Commitsave a snapshot with a message
3Create a releasea named version, like v0.1.0
4Copy the linkGitHub packs the release as a .tar.gz
1

Create a repository. On github.com click the + at the top right, then New repository. Name it after your app, keep it Public, click Create.

Then click uploading an existing file, drag your whole project folder in, and click Commit changes. That upload is your first commit.

2

Commit. Every time you change files on GitHub and press Commit changes, that is a commit. You already did one in step 1.

3

Create a release. On your repository page, find Releases in the right column, click Create a new release. Under Choose a tag type v0.1.0 and pick Create new tag. Title it v0.1.0. Click Publish release.

4

Copy the link. On the release page, under Assets, right-click Source code (tar.gz) and copy the link. It looks like this:

https://github.com/YOUR-NAME/YOUR-APP/archive/refs/tags/v0.1.0.tar.gz

Paste it into Release URL. Next release: bump the tag to v0.1.1 and repeat step 3.

Not ready for GitHub at all? Choose Or upload the .tar.gz instead. On a Mac, right-click your project folder → Compress, then rename the .zip to .tar.gz will not work; use Terminal: tar -czf my-app-0.1.0.tar.gz my-app/. Or pick Not yet and add the release later from Your apps.
