Code Review
This pull request adds a new section to the GitHub backend documentation explaining how to manage multiple assets from a single release using tool aliases. The review feedback points out that asset pattern matching is case-sensitive and suggests updating the examples to use 'macOS' instead of 'macos' for better compatibility with common release naming conventions.
