Description

Currently the script doesn't allow to tag a branch that isn't the default one(master). In order that to happen, a user must include `target_commitish` as a parameter when creating the release. More info can be found [here](https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/releases/#create-a-release).
I'd help with a PR but I don't really know Go and really don't have time at the moment. Really appreciated the help with the script.

Research direction

Start by locating the release-creation request in the Go CLI and compare its parameters with the linked GitHub Releases API documentation. Done means a user can provide a non-default branch through target_commitish and the resulting release is tagged from that branch.
