use_github_release

Pushes the current branch (if safe) then publishes a GitHub release for the
latest CRAN submission.
If you use <code><a href="https://devtools.r-lib.org/reference/submit_cran.html">devtools::submit_cran()</a></code> to submit to CRAN, information about the
submitted state is captured in a <code>CRAN-SUBMISSION</code> file.
<code>use_github_release()</code> uses this info to populate the GitHub release notes
and, after success, deletes the file. In the absence of such a file, we
assume that current state (SHA of <code>HEAD</code>, package version, NEWS) is the
submitted state.

Automate package and project setup tasks that are otherwise
performed manually. This includes setting up unit testing, test
coverage, continuous integration, Git, 'GitHub', licenses, 'Rcpp',
'RStudio' projects, and more.
