Publishing a release

These notes are WIP for creating a release (v0.X.Y) from a local copy of the repo.

  1. Change directory to your local docsy repo and ensure that you're on a branch and at the commit that you want to tag as the next release (usually @HEAD).

  2. Ensure that the CHANGELOG has a release summary entry for v0.X.Y. If not, create one with a brief summary of breaking changes. (Change details are autogenerated by GitHub in a later step.)

  3. Update the Hugo module versions to v0.X.Y.

  4. Update the NPM package version in package.json to v0.X.Y.

  5. Create the tags for v0.X.Y (we currently need two):

    $ REL=v0.X.Y
    $ git tag $REL
    $ git tag dependencies/$REL
  6. Push the new tags to the main repo (which is named upstream in my setup) either one by one or all together provided you have no other new tags defined. The following illustrates the latter, and does a dry run first:

    $ git push --dry-run --tags upstream
    To https://github.com/google/docsy.git
    * [new tag]         dependencies/v0.X.Y -> dependencies/v0.X.Y
    * [new tag]         v0.X.Y -> v0.X.Y

    If only the two new tags are listed, drop the dry-run flag to push the tags.

  7. Use the GitHub Draft a new release feature, filling in the fields as follows:

    • From the release/tag dropdown: Select the new release tag that you just pushed, v0.X.Y.

    • Set the release title to the release number (without the "v").

    • Click "auto-generate release notes" to get the release details.

    • Replace the auto-generated "## What's Changed" heading by the following:

      ## Release summary
      
      See, https://github.com/google/docsy/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#0XY
      
      ## Commit details
    • Replace the 0XY anchor target above with a target appropriate for this release.

    • Remove the "New contributors" autogenerated text since we don't publish that as part of our release notes.

    • Select Create a discussion for this release.

    • Click Publish release.
