1. Navigate to your repository on GitHub.
2. Click Tags in the repository navigation.
3. Go to the Releases section of your repository.
4. Select Draft a new release to begin creating a release.
5. Choose a tag to associate with the release.
6. Add a release title and a description for the release.
7. Click to add files and attach your large files to the release.
8. Click the Publish release button to upload your files directly.
9. Note: GitHub allows up to 100 MB per file, with a typical repository size limit of around 1 GB.
