- Update the version number in
lib/honeycomb/beeline/version.rb
. - Update
CHANGELOG.md
with the changes since the last release. Consider automating with a command such as these two:git log $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..HEAD --no-merges --oneline > new-in-this-release.log
git log --pretty='%C(green)%d%Creset- %s | %an'
- Commit changes, push, and open a release preparation pull request for review.
- Once the pull request is merged, fetch the updated
main
branch. - Apply a tag for the new version on the merged commit (e.g.
git tag -a v2.3.1 -m "v2.3.1"
) - Push the tag upstream (this will kick off the release pipeline in CI) e.g.
git push origin v2.3.1
- Ensure that there is a draft GitHub release created as part of CI publish steps (this will also publish to Gems registry).
- Click "generate release notes" in GitHub for full changelog notes and any new contributors
- Publish the draft release in GitHub.
