Releasing

  1. Update NEWS.md with relevant changes since the last release and set the version heading.
  2. Commit the changes with a message like "Release v#{version}"
  3. Tag the release: git tag -s v#{version} and fill in the tag message with the relevant changes.
  4. Push the changes: git push --follow-tags
  5. Create a release on GitHub with the version and release notes from NEWS.md.
  6. Announce the release.

Versioning

This action follows Semantic Versioning. The major version tag (e.g. v1) is kept pointing at the latest patch release in that series so consumers who pin thoughtbot/importmap-update@v1 get updates automatically.

After tagging v1.x.x, move the floating tag:

git tag -f v1
git push --force origin v1
