How do I list GitHub releases?

Short answer: You can list releases in GitHub by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the GitHub List Releases action to a workflow, map its 3 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about List Releases.

What does the List Releases action do in GitHub?

Lists releases for a GitHub repository with tag, name, body, and published_at. Used to render a changelog page or to feed release-notes feeds.

What inputs does List Releases require?

Required: Owner, Repository. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if GitHub returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message GitHub returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does List Releases support batch operations?

Run List Releases inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within GitHub's rate limits.
