Get a Release by a tag name through Release-CLI

Release notes

In this milestone we have added the ability to get release by tag or name directly from the release-cli. This can be used to automate release descriptions and more by creating a script that interacts with the release responses.

Problem to solve

As a user of the release-cli, I wish to be able to perform all release activities directly from the .gitlab-ci.yml file.

This issue tackles Get release, which can then be parsed to obtain a specific field, like description.

Proposal

The release-cli is a simple HTTP client that makes API requests, it would be great to extend it to interact with the rest of the Release API endpoints.

Extend the release-cli to get release.

Get a Release by a tag name Get a Release for the given tag.

GET /projects/:id/releases/:tag_name
