AutoConfig Release

Assuming the project is hosted on GitHub with the "origin" remote set to https://github.com/duke/app.git

$ git remote -vv
origin	https://github.com/duke/app.git (fetch)
origin	https://github.com/duke/app.git (push)

And the following file structure:

.
├── file1.txt
└── file2.txt

You may create and tag a release without a config file in the following way:

$ release --auto-config \
  --project-name=app \
  --project-version=1.0.0 \
  --signing-enabled \
  --signing-armored \
  --file=file1.txt \
  --file=file2.txt
