    Hint:

    git --no-pager log --merges --pretty=oneline master...vX.Y.Z

  • Decide on the version number by reference to the Versioning

    • Typically if you want to release code from current master branch you will update MINOR version, e.g. 1.12.0 -> 1.13.0. In that case you don't need to create stable branch
    • If you want to backport some bug fix or security fix you will need to update stable branch X-Y-stable

  • Create an MR for gitlab-pages project. You can use this MR as an example.

    • Update VERSION
    • Update CHANGELOG
    • Assign to reviewer

  • Once gitlab-pages is merged create a signed+annotated tag pointing to the merge commit on the stable branch In case of master branch:

    git fetch origin master
git fetch dev master
git tag -a -s -m "Release v1.0.0" v1.0.0 origin/master

    In case of stable branch:

    git fetch origin 1-0-stable
git fetch dev 1-0-stable
git tag -a -s -m "Release v1.0.0" v1.0.0 origin/1-0-stable

  • Verify that you created tag properly:

    git show v1.0.0

    it should include something like:

    • (tag: v1.0.0, origin/master, dev/master, master) for master
    • (tag: v1.0.1, origin/1-0-stable, dev/1-0-stable, 1-0-stable) for stable branch

  • Push this tag to origin(Skip this for security release!)

    git push origin v1.0.0

  • Wait for tag to be mirrored to dev or push it:

    git push dev v1.0.0

  • Create an MR for gitlab project. You can use this MR as an example.

    • Update GITLAB_PAGES_VERSION
    • Create a changelog entry
    • Assign to a reviewer
