+Linear Release is a CLI tool that integrates your CI/CD pipeline with [Linear's release management](https://linear.app/docs/releases). After integrating into your CI, it automatically:
 
 - Scans commits for Linear issue identifiers (e.g., `ENG-123`)
 - Detects pull request references in commit messages
 - Creates and updates releases in Linear

-**Scheduled**: An ongoing release collects changes over time, then moves through stages (e.g. "code freeze", "qa") before completion. Useful for release trains. Use `sync` to add issues, `update` to move between stages, and `complete` to finalize.
