Archive files have the name of the project in twice when downloaded. about jackson-parent HOT 4 CLOSED

That is an automatic GitHub feature when you tag a Git commit. We have no input into what GitHub creates.

Which feature is this, I don't understand? You don't use the release feature, you use tags like I do here. So this suggests to me that someone created the tag locally and pushed it into the repo (like I do). So it looks like I'm following the same process as you guys, but if you download the archives from my repo you just get <tag>.tar.gz but from yours you get <tag>-<tag>.tar.gz.

yes we tag git and GitHub creates these archives

if you are unhappy with how GitHub does this, please talk to them

I think I have resolved my misunderstanding around how the archives get their names, I will deal with it from my end.

This is a bit unnecessary.
