Why should you manage immutable releases in a GitHub repository

GitHub is a dynamic platform designed to streamline collaboration and code management.

Managing immutable releases in a GitHub repository enhances software integrity by ensuring that once a release is tagged, it remains unchanged. This approach fosters stability and consistency across development stages.
