Release Asset

Noun · Open Source

Definitions

  1. A file attached to a software release, such as a binary, archive, checksum, or installer. In release engineering culture, assets are the concrete deliverables users actually download rather than just the source commit itself.

    In plain English: A downloadable file attached to a software release.

    Example: "The team added signed release assets so operators could fetch the exact binary and verify integrity without rebuilding from source."
