Terminology

Different terminology is used by different provider for what is called an unpublished release:

  • GitHub uses the term draft releases to prepare a release without publishing it.
  • GitLab uses the term upcoming releases, it is similar to GitHub Pre-releases where a badge notify the upcoming release in the GitLab release page. The attribute released_at should be set to a future date to have it enabled and it is only possible to change it using the GitLab API.
