Hi, when I commit my changes in VScode, per usual, I go to Git Hub to draft a new release to then make those changes live. For some reason, I am not getting an error when I try to draft the release. I will attach the error I am receiving. Please let me know if anyone else is experiencing this and if they know the solution. Thank you!

The error you're experiencing when trying to draft a release in GitHub from VSCode could be due to various reasons. To address this issue, you can follow these steps:

1. Analyze the Error Message:

   • Examine the error message carefully to understand what it says. It might provide valuable information about the specific problem.

2. Check Your Network Connection:

   • Ensure that you have a stable internet connection. Sometimes, issues can occur if your network connection is intermittent.

3. Update GitHub for VSCode Extension:

   • Make sure you are using the latest version of the GitHub for VSCode extension. Outdated extensions can sometimes lead to compatibility issues.

4. Verify GitHub Authentication:

   • Confirm that you are correctly authenticated with your GitHub account within VSCode. If you're not signed in or if there's an issue with your GitHub credentials, it can prevent you from creating releases.

5. Check Repository Permissions:

   • Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to create releases in the repository. You must have "write" access to the repository to draft a release.

6. Review GitHub API Status:

   • Occasionally, issues can be on GitHub's end. Check the status of the GitHub API to see if there are any ongoing incidents or outages that might be affecting your ability to create releases.

7. Review Your Release Settings:

   • When creating a release, review the release settings to make sure they are correctly configured. You might have a setting that's preventing you from creating a release.

8. Extensions or Plugins Conflict:

   • If you have other extensions or plugins installed in VSCode, try disabling them temporarily to see if one of them is conflicting with the GitHub extension.

9. Clear Cache:

   • Sometimes, cached data can cause issues. You can try clearing the cache for the GitHub for VSCode extension.

10. Check for Proxy or Firewall Issues:

    • If you're behind a corporate network or a firewall, it might be blocking the connection to GitHub. Check with your network administrator if this might be the issue.

11. Reinstall the GitHub Extension:

    • If none of the above steps work, you can try uninstalling and then reinstalling the GitHub for VSCode extension.

12. Contact GitHub Support:

    • If the issue persists, and you can't determine the cause or solution, consider reaching out to GitHub Support. Provide them with the error message and any relevant details about your setup.

Remember to document any error messages or specific details about the issue to provide better information to GitHub Support if you decide to contact them.
