Use GitHub release after each CRAN update?

[maelle]

So that the rOpenSci newsletter might pick up the update. :-) (the next one, the one for today couldn't https://ropensci.org/blog/2021/03/16/ropensci-news/)

Thank you for your advice. I'm a beginning programmer. It took me some time to learn what the pull request is and how to use it.

Don't hesitate to ping me in rOpenSci slack if you have further question about this issue or the PR!

Regarding the GitHub releases,

• to not forget you can use usethis::use_release_issue() before preparing a CRAN release, it'll create an useful checklist.
• usethis also has a function for creating the GitHub release, https://usethis.r-lib.org/reference/use_github_release.html.
