gh release create v1.1.0 --title 'v1.1.0' --notes-file CHANGELOG.md

Create a release with notes from a file

--title sets the release heading while --notes-file reads the body from CHANGELOG.md, keeping long release notes out of the command line. The file's content becomes the release description verbatim. This is the standard flow for hand-maintained changelogs.
