+# GitHub Releases to Google Cloud Storage
+
+This directory contains a tool called `gh2gcs` that downloads a release published in GitHub to a Google Cloud Storage Bucket.
+
+## Requirements
+
+This tool directly depends on `gcloud` and `gsutil` to be installed on the system.
+
+Google Cloud has [documentation on installing and configuring the Google Cloud SDK CLI tools](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/quickstarts).
+
+## Install
+
+The simplest way to install the `gh2gcs` CLI is via `go get`:
+
+```
+$ go get k8s.io/release/cmd/gh2gcs
+```
+
+This will install `gh2gcs` to `$(go env GOPATH)/bin/gh2gcs`.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use this tool to copy a release to a Google Cloud Storage, run:
+
+```bash
+$ gh2gcs \
+  --org kubernetes --repo kubernetes --bucket my-test-bucket \
+  --release-dir release --tags v1.18.0
+
+INFO Validating gh2gcs options...
+INFO Downloading assets for the following kubernetes/kubernetes release tags: v1.18.0
+INFO Download assets for kubernetes/kubernetes@v1.18.0
+INFO Writing assets to /tmp/test/kubernetes/kubernetes/v1.18.0

+
+```
