Question: how to retrigger a failed build, after the tag has been pushed?

[jamietanna]

I've had a few cases recently where the release build has failed - for various reasons - and I'm therefore in a state where:

• the tag has been pushed
• the release has been created (in GitLab)
• but no artifacts are attached to the release

Example failed release https://gitlab.com/tanna.dev/dependency-management-data/-/jobs/6124759592

Example GitLab release https://gitlab.com/tanna.dev/dependency-management-data/-/releases/v0.81.0

Is there any way to retrigger the release process for go-semantic-release to perform the Goreleaser release for that specific tag?

If this happens I use one of the following two solutions:

1. Create and push an empty commit to trigger a new CI run/build/release (git commit -m 'fix: trigger release' --allow-empty)
2. Delete the git tag (git push origin :refs/tags/v1.2.0) and rerun the CI job.
