It would be nice to be able to use the createRelease logic found here locally, perhaps as a separate release command in the CLI. So that you could do something like:

1. yarn changesets version
2. yarn changesets publish
3. GITHUB_TOKEN=xxx yarn changesets release or yarn changesets release --token xxx

My use case is testing local changes to @changesets/cli but I think it would be good to not have to rely on the GitHub actions, say if GitHub Actions is down but the API is not, or some other reason preventing the action from executing. You could fallback to running the process locally. What do you think?
