Release Workflow

This project uses an automated release workflow via GitHub Actions.

🚀 The Easy Way (Interactive Script)

We have an interactive script that handles the entire process for you:

./scripts/release.sh

What this script does:

1. Checks for uncommitted changes.
2. Asks you for the type of release (Patch, Minor, Major).
3. Runs linting and build checks locally to ensure quality.
4. Bumps the version in package.json AND public/manifest.json.
5. Creates a git commit and tag.
6. Pushes the code and tags to GitHub.

After the script finishes:

1. Go to the GitHub Actions tab.
2. Watch the Release workflow run.
3. Once finished, go to the Releases page on GitHub.
4. Download the opfs-explorer-vX.X.X.zip asset.
5. Upload it to the Chrome Web Store Dashboard.

🛠 Manual Release Process

If you prefer to do it manually:

1. Bump Version:

   npm version patch  # or minor, major

2. Update Manifest: Manually update the "version" field in public/manifest.json to match package.json.

3. Commit & Tag:

   git add public/manifest.json
   git commit --amend --no-edit
   git tag -f vX.X.X  # Replace with actual version

4. Push:

   git push origin main --tags
