Releasing

  1. Set up some environment variables for use later.

    # This is the version being released.
VERSION=1.21.0

# This is the branch from which $VERSION will be released.
# This is almost always dev.
BRANCH=dev

    If you are copying/pasting commands, make sure you actually set the right value for VERSION above.

  2. Call release preparation helper.

    ./etc/bin/release.sh $VERSION $BRANCH

  3. Check for the diff in the CHANGELOG.md and version.go and make sure it looks good.

    git diff CHANGELOG.md version.go

  4. Create a commit for the release.

    git add version.go CHANGELOG.md
git commit -m "Preparing release v$VERSION"

  5. Make a pull request with these changes against master.

    gh pr create --base master --title "Preparing release v$VERSION" --web

  6. Land the pull request after approval as a merge commit. To do this, select Create a merge commit from the pull-down next to the merge button and click Merge pull request. Make sure you delete that branch after it has been merged with Delete Branch.

  7. Once the change has been landed, pull it locally.

    git checkout master
git pull

  8. Tag a release.

    gh release create v$VERSION --latest --target master --title "v$VERSION"

  9. Copy the changelog entries for this release into the release description in the newly opened browser window.

  10. Switch back to development.

    git checkout $BRANCH
git merge master

  11. Run helper script to update dev branch, CHANGELOG.md and version.go.

    ./etc/bin/back-to-development.sh $VERSION $BRANCH

  12. Verify git log and changes.

    git log --oneline -n 5
git diff CHANGELOG.md version.go

  13. Commit and push your changes.

    git add CHANGELOG.md version.go
git commit -m 'Back to development'
git push origin $BRANCH
