The draft release is a working copy of a release, which you can review, before publishing. It has a predefined title
and git tag name, which is the current plugin's version - i.e. `v0.0.1`. The changelog is provided automatically using
the [gradle-changelog-plugin][gh:gradle-changelog-plugin]. There is also an artifact file with built plugin attached.
Every next *Build* overrides (or creates one if absent) such a draft to keep your *Releases* page clean.
By editing the draft and using the <kbd>Publish release</kbd> button, GitHub will tag your repository with the given
version and add new entry to the Releases tab. In the next steps, it will notify users that are *watching* repository
version and add a new entry to the Releases tab. In the next steps, it will notify users that are *watching* repository

### Publishing Plugin
Releasing plugin to the Marketplace is a straightforward operation which uses `publishPlugin` Gradle task provided
by the [gradle-intellij-plugin][gh:gradle-intellij-plugin]. [Release](.github/workflows/release.yml) workflow automates
that process by running the task, when a new release appears in the GitHub Releases section.
