olsu is a tool that makes it easy to create releases on github from cli. Use this if git tags aren't enough for you or you need to attach binaries to your release.

There's binaries for Linux and macOS on the releases page.

You'll need something like ca-certificates on debian before olsu runs.

name, version and description are required arguments
Usage of ./olsu:
   name version description [attachment ... attachment]
