⚠️ Installation Permissions

Release Drafter requires full write, because GitHub does not offer a limited scope for only writing releases. Don't install Release Drafter to your entire GitHub account — only add the repositories you want to draft releases on.

Developer

Release Drafter is provided by a third-party and is governed by separate terms of service, privacy policy, and support documentation.
