title: How to create public release from a private gitlab repo?
body: <p>I have a private repo and want to keep it private but would like to have a release that is publicly accessible. The <a href="https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/workflow/releases.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">doc's</a> doesn't give more hint's on it and it seems like that I would need to make the project itself public. Can someone confirm that?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: It's not possible on github, without a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26217941/can-i-make-releases-public-from-a-private-github-repo">workaround</a>, probably same goes for gitlab.</p>
