Release Procedures

• Ensure the origin remote is this repository, not a fork.
• Ensure develop branch has all the change commits for the the release you make.
• Rebase develop branch on main to ensure future linear commit history: git develop && git pull -r origin main.
• Run the maven to prepare the release: git checkout develop && mvn -Prelease release:clean release:prepare.
• Once this is complete, sync remote state so develop will be pointing to the latest snapshot release and the new release tag (not a GitHub release yet): git checkout develop && git push --follow-tags
• Once the tagged version is completed for the associated release, merge the tag and release prep into main branch to finish the release: git checkout main && git merge --ff-only v0x.y.z && git push origin HEAD.
• Release automation in GitHub Actions will the build the snapshot release and final release in GitHub Actions.
• Once complete review the appropriate release in Sonatype OSS repository and close it to prepare for promotion.
  
  
• Once steps complete, promote the closed release with the release action.
  
  
• Go to the releases section and create the release notes based on the new 0x.y.z tag.
• Ensure develop branch is based off main for linear commits on future releases: git checkout develop && git pull -r origin main.
