I am working with a project on a private GitHub repository. I'm looking to bundle up source code (based on a given tag) plus some binary objects as a release.

My question is what does it truly mean to "publish" a release? The docs only tell me that publishing a release will "publicize" it:

If you're ready to publicize your release, click Publish release.

When the "publish" button is clicked, does a notification get sent out? Who gets notified, and/or who can see the actual release? Since this is a private repository I don't want notification or visibility to the GitHub community as a whole.

  • Does this answer your question? [What exactly is a Release in GitHub?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33551505/what-exactly-is-a-release-in-github) – fatalcoder524 Jul 02 '20 at 19:09
  • @fatalcoder524 nope, it doesn't. That only talks about what a release itself is, and doesn't speak to my real questions of 1) the visibility of the release itself, and 2) who, if anyone, gets notified when the release is published. – Mr. Snrub Jul 02 '20 at 19:14

As far as I know, the notifications are sent to all the people who are watching your repo. Also if you are in your organization repo, it will be notified to all the users of your organization.
