Any way to reference a markdown file in GitHub releases?

18 Jun, 2018 12:07 AM

I'd like to reference my README.md as the description for my GitHub release step of my build.

deploy:
  description: README.md

didn't work, which was probably fairly obvious.

Is there any way for me to attach a file to the releases generated by the GitHub provider?

Presently, the description: value only accepts a string.
