How to publish a new release?

Word about versions: Releases are tag based, and follow (semantic versioning semantics)[semver.org]. e.g tag v0.3.3 is release 0.3.3 and under version 1.0 breaking changes occur. The process is based on git release from git-extras package.

How to: Fetch latest origin including tags

git fetch --tags origin

Create a fresh branch to work on

git checkout -b release origin/master

Create a 'minor' release, entering interactive changelog update:

git release --semver minor -c 

This will automatically bump 0.5.0 to 0.6.0 for example. Use 'major', 'minor', 'patch' where needed.

Now we have a new tagged commit, all we need it to push it:

# may need --force
git push --tags origin HEAD:master
