A core developer should use the following steps to create a release YYYY-MM-DD of CTK

  1. Make sure that all CI tests are passing
  2. Download the source

    cd /tmp && \
    git clone git@github.com:commontk/CTK && \
    cd CTK
    
  3. List all tags sorted by version

    $ git fetch --tags && \
    git tag -l | sort -V
    
  4. Choose the next release version number

    $ release=YYYY-MM-DD
  5. Tag the release

    git tag --sign -m "CTK ${release}" ${release} master

    We recommend using a GPG signing key to sign the tag.

  6. Publish the release tag

    git push origin ${release}
