-
-It's typical to create a [Git tag](../../university/training/topics/tags.md) at
-the moment of release to introduce a checkpoint in your source code
-history, but in most cases your users will need compiled objects or other
-assets output by your CI system to use them, not just the raw source
-code.
-
-GitLab's **Releases** are a way to track deliverables in your project. Consider them
-a snapshot in time of the source, build output, and other metadata or artifacts
-associated with a released version of your code.
-
-At the moment, you can create Release entries via the [Releases API](../../api/releases.md);
-we recommend doing this as one of the last steps in your CI/CD release pipeline.
-
-## Getting started with Releases
-
-Start by giving a [description](#release-description) to the Release and
-including its [assets](#release-assets), as follows.
-
-### Release description
-
-Every Release has a description. You can add any text you like, but we recommend
-including a changelog to describe the content of your release. This will allow
-your users to quickly scan the differences between each one you publish.
-
-NOTE: **Note:**
-[Git's tagging messages](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Tagging) and
-Release descriptions are unrelated. Description supports [markdown](../markdown.md).
-
-### Release assets
-
-You can currently add the following types of assets to each Release:
-
-- [Source code](#source-code): state of the repo at the time of the Release
-- [Links](#links): to content such as built binaries or documentation
-
-GitLab will support more asset types in the future, including objects such
-as pre-built packages, compliance/security evidence, or container images.
-
-#### Source code
-
-GitLab automatically generate `zip`, `tar.gz`, `tar.bz2` and `tar`
-archived source code from the given Git tag. These are read-only assets.
-
-#### Links
-
-A link is any URL which can point to whatever you like; documentation, built
-binaries, or other related materials. These can be both internal or external
-links from your GitLab instance.
