Hey, @dalisoft,

It's hard to say what’s going wrong.

1. Multisemrel passes the pkg path as cwd option for each semrel process. https://github.com/dhoulb/multi-semantic-release/blob/118a894cd88d8e343dc54d4c2d005540c70172d1/lib/multiSemanticRelease.js#L202

2. Semrel uses cwd for its context. https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release/blob/971a5e0d16f1a32e117e9ce382a1618c8256d0d9/index.js#L248

3. The plugin invokes glob with the same cwd value. https://github.com/semantic-release/github/blob/a283229652f180834b76734b87a613994c72ce06/lib/glob-assets.js#L28

As a workaround, I suggest specifying the paths in the plugin config. https://github.com/semantic-release/github#usage

{
  "plugins": [
    "@semantic-release/commit-analyzer",
    "@semantic-release/release-notes-generator",
    ["@semantic-release/github", {
      "assets": [
        {"path": "dist/asset.min.css", "label": "CSS distribution"},
      ]
    }],
  ]
}

@antongolub Thank you a lot for trying help, you can try this repo as testing, locally i have used multi-semantic-release and results are same. Seems this issue not much bug, it's more like help as even semantic-release, semantic-release-monorepo and similar tools also does same bug, but if your tool can do this right, it could be much much better than others.

For example,

• go-to repository
• go-to releases, pick one of package
• try download Source and open
• see, these ZIP/tar.gz includes whole package

It's possible include only related package files?

Thank you
