gh release edit: support --verify-tag like gh release create #7628
Description
Activity
Ah, sorry.
Here's concretely what we do: Apache Arrow ADBC, being an Apache project, first tags a commit for RC, then votes on it. If that passes we retag the commit. So there's a script that creates a tag and a prerelease on GitHub, and a script that creates the final tag and updates the release.
When I forgot to push the final tag today, the final release instead unexpectedly pointed at main.
Of course, it's reasonable to say that pushing the tag should be automated, too, avoiding the problem (other scripts of ours do this). So mostly I just found the behavior here surprising (I personally would've expected an error, and didn't realize it was intended behavior until I read the docs for
create).- added and removed
on Jun 27, 2023 @samcoe I will take this ahead.
