Making a Release

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}
