How do I post a "release" on github?

I have a few open source projects that I manage. I've been posting the .tar.gz releases for them to a directory on a webserver I run. I would like to post them to github. Is there a simple way to post the release and a signature for the release? My users aren't sophisticated enough to download the release with git; they want to download and install a .tar.gz file. Some of them may even want to verify the signature.

Solution

  • GitHub have just announced their new "GitHub Releases" feature, which sounds like exactly what you're after:
