The `gh release` command allows you to quickly and easily create a new version of your
Python package. All you need to do is provide the version number, the changelog, and the

This command will create a new version of your package with the specified version number,
and include the changelog and the distribution files. It's a great way to make sure that
all the necessary files are included in the release, and that the version number is
correct.
