Note from 22 February 2023

Is it useful to have releases in GitHub for projects that are always installed from npmjs? 🤔

Asking for example for a pet project (which is also a mono-repo).

@nhoizey Depends on how you publish your changelog, in my opinion: GitHub releases are a nice way to share a version specific changelog.

@ffoodd what about a `CHANGELOG.md` file in the repository?Anyway, my current releases on GitHub are mixing both packages of the monorepo, they should not… 😞

@ffoodd I finally decided to split the monorepo into 2 simple repos and remove GitHub releases. The CHANGELOG.md files will be enough, and easy to find.

@nhoizey For me, the main benefit of GitHub is that it publishes an Atom feed of the releases. I don't think NPM does that.
