DESCRIPTION
    Creates a new release, delivery pipeline qualified.

EXAMPLES
    To create a release with source located at storage URL
    gs://bucket/object.zip and the first rollout in the first target of the
    promotion sequence:

        $ gcloud deploy releases create my-release \
           --source=`gs://bucket/object.zip` \
           --delivery-pipeline=my-pipeline --region=us-central1

    To create a release with source located at current directory and deploy a
    rollout to target prod :

        $ gcloud deploy releases create my-release \
            --delivery-pipeline=my-pipeline --region=us-central1 \
            --to-target=prod

    The following command creates a release without a skaffold.yaml as input,
    and generates one for you:

        $ gcloud deploy releases create my-release \
            --delivery-pipeline=my-pipeline --region=us-central1 \
            --from-k8s-manifest=path/to/kubernetes/k8.yaml

    The current UTC date and time on the machine running the gcloud command can
    also be included in the release name by adding $DATE and $TIME parameters:

        $ gcloud deploy releases create 'my-release-$DATE-$TIME' \
            --delivery-pipeline=my-pipeline --region=us-central1

    If the current UTC date and time is set to 2021-12-21 12:02, then the
    created release will have its name set as my-release-20211221-1202.

    When using these parameters, please be sure to wrap the release name in
    single quotes or else the template parameters will be overridden by
    environment variables.

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     Release resource - The name of the Release. The arguments in this group
     can be used to specify the attributes of this resource. (NOTE) Some
     attributes are not given arguments in this group but can be set in other
     ways.

     To set the project attribute:
      ◆ provide the argument release on the command line with a fully
        specified name;

      ◆ set the property core/project.

     This must be specified.

       RELEASE
          ID of the release or fully qualified identifier for the release.

          To set the release attribute:
          ▸ provide the argument release on the command line.

          This positional argument must be specified if any of the other
          arguments in this group are specified.

       --delivery-pipeline=DELIVERY_PIPELINE
          The delivery pipeline associated with the release. Alternatively, set
          the property [deploy/delivery-pipeline].

          To set the delivery-pipeline attribute:
          ▸ provide the argument release on the command line with a fully
            specified name;
          ▸ provide the argument --delivery-pipeline on the command line;
          ▸ set the property deploy/delivery_pipeline.

       --region=REGION
          The Cloud region for the release. Alternatively, set the property
          [deploy/region].

          To set the region attribute:
          ▸ provide the argument release on the command line with a fully
            specified name;
          ▸ provide the argument --region on the command line;
          ▸ set the property deploy/region.

        Labels to apply to the release. Labels take the form of key/value
        string pairs.

        Examples:

        Add labels:

            $ gcloud deploy releases create --labels="commit=abc123,author=foo"

     --override-deploy-policies=[POLICY,...]

     --skaffold-version=SKAFFOLD_VERSION
        Version of the Skaffold binary.

     --to-target=TO_TARGET
        Specifies a target to deliver into upon release creation

     At most one of these can be specified:

       --build-artifacts=BUILD_ARTIFACTS
          Reference to a Skaffold build artifacts output file from skaffold
          build --file-output=BUILD_ARTIFACTS. If you aren't using Skaffold,
          use the --images flag below to specify the
          image-names-to-tagged-image references.

       --images=[NAME=TAG,...]
          Reference to a collection of individual image name to image full path
          replacements.

          For example:

              $ gcloud deploy releases create foo \
                  --images image1=path/to/image1:v1@sha256:45db24

     At most one of these can be specified:

       --disable-initial-rollout
          Skips creating a rollout in the first target defined in the delivery
          pipeline.

       Or at least one of these can be specified:

         --enable-initial-rollout
            Creates a rollout in the first target defined in the delivery
            pipeline. This is the default behavior.

         --initial-rollout-annotations=[KEY=VALUE,...]
            Annotations to apply to the initial rollout when creating the
            release. Annotations take the form of key/value string pairs.

            Examples:

            Add annotations:

                $ gcloud deploy releases create \
                    --initial-rollout-annotations="from_target=test,status=stable"

         --initial-rollout-labels=[KEY=VALUE,...]
            Labels to apply to the initial rollout when creating the release.
            Labels take the form of key/value string pairs.

            Examples:

            Add labels:

                $ gcloud deploy releases create \
                    initial-rollout-labels="commit=abc123,author=foo"

         --initial-rollout-phase-id=INITIAL_ROLLOUT_PHASE_ID
            The phase to start the initial rollout at when creating the
            release. The phase ID must be a valid phase on the rollout. If not
            specified, then the rollout will start at the first phase.

            Examples:

            Start rollout at stable phase:

                $ gcloud deploy releases create --initial-rollout-phase-id=stable

     At most one of these can be specified:

       --from-k8s-manifest=FROM_K8S_MANIFEST
          The path to a Kubernetes manifest, which Cloud Deploy will use to
          generate a skaffold.yaml file for you (for example, foo/bar/k8.yaml).
          The generated Skaffold file will be available in the Google Cloud
          Storage source staging directory (see --gcs-source-staging-dir flag)
          after the release is complete.

       --from-run-manifest=FROM_RUN_MANIFEST
          The path to a Cloud Run manifest, which Cloud Deploy will use to
          generate a skaffold.yaml file for you (for example,
          foo/bar/service.yaml). The generated Skaffold file will be available
          in the Google Cloud Storage source staging directory (see
          --gcs-source-staging-dir flag) after the release is complete.

       Or at least one of these can be specified:

         --skaffold-file=SKAFFOLD_FILE
            Path of the skaffold file absolute or relative to the source
            directory.

            Examples:

            Use Skaffold file with relative path: The current working directory
            is expected to be some part of the skaffold path (e.g. the current
            working directory could be /home/user)

                $ gcloud deploy releases create --source=/home/user/source \
                    --skaffold-file=config/skaffold.yaml

            The skaffold file absolute file path is expected to be:
            /home/user/source/config/skaffold.yaml

            Use Skaffold file with absolute path and with or without source
            argument:

                $ gcloud deploy releases create --source=/home/user/source \
                    --skaffold-file=/home/user/source/config/skaffold.yaml

                $ gcloud deploy releases create \
                    --skaffold-file=/home/user/source/config/skaffold.yaml

         --source=SOURCE; default="."
            The location of the source that contains skaffold.yaml. The
            location can be a directory on a local disk or a gzipped archive
            file (.tar.gz) in Google Cloud Storage. If the source is a local
            directory, this command skips the files specified in the
            --ignore-file. If --ignore-file is not specified, use.gcloudignore
            file. If a .gcloudignore file is absent and a .gitignore file is
            present in the local source directory, gcloud will use a generated
            Git-compatible .gcloudignore file that respects your .gitignored
            files. The global .gitignore is not respected. For more information
            on .gcloudignore, see gcloud topic gcloudignore.
