The GitLab Release CLI consumes instructions in the :release node of the .gitlab-ci.yml to create a Release object in GitLab Rails. GitLab Release is a CLI application written in Golang
The GitLab Release is a decoupled utility that may be called by the GitLab Runner, by a third-party CI or directly from the command-line. It uses the CI Job-Token to authorize against the GitLab Rails API, which is passed to it by the GitLab Runner.
The CLI can also be called independently, and can still create the Release via Rails API if the Job-Token and correct command line params are provided.
