Releasing

Requirements

• github client
• gitchub_changelog_generator
• github access token

Export changelog token

export CHANGELOG_GITHUB_TOKEN=token

Set release information

0.3.5 should always be the previous release as it's the last pyhs100 release in HISTORY.md which is the changelog prior to github release notes.

export NEW_RELEASE=x.x.x.devx

Normal releases from master

Create a branch for the release

git checkout master
git fetch upstream master
git rebase upstream/master
git checkout -b release/$NEW_RELEASE

Update the version number

sed -i "0,/version = /{s/version = .*/version = \"${NEW_RELEASE}\"/}" pyproject.toml

Update dependencies

uv sync --all-extras
uv lock --upgrade
uv sync --all-extras

Run pre-commit and tests

uv run pre-commit run --all-files
uv run pytest -n auto

Create release summary (skip for dev releases)

Write a short and understandable summary for the release. Can include images.

Create $NEW_RELEASE milestone in github

If not already created

Create new issue linked to the milestone

gh issue create --label "release-summary" --milestone $NEW_RELEASE --title "$NEW_RELEASE Release Summary" --body "**Release summary:**"

You can exclude the --body option to get an interactive editor or go into the issue on github and edit there.

Close the issue

Either via github or:

gh issue close ISSUE_NUMBER

Generate changelog

Configuration settings are in .github_changelog_generator

For pre-release

EXCLUDE_TAGS will exclude all dev tags except for the current release dev tags.

Regex should be something like this ^((?!0\.7\.0)(.*dev\d))+. The first match group negative matches on the current release and the second matches on releases ending with dev.

EXCLUDE_TAGS=${NEW_RELEASE%.dev*}; EXCLUDE_TAGS=${EXCLUDE_TAGS//"."/"\."}; EXCLUDE_TAGS="^((?!"$EXCLUDE_TAGS")(.*dev\d))+"
echo "$EXCLUDE_TAGS"
github_changelog_generator --future-release $NEW_RELEASE --exclude-tags-regex "$EXCLUDE_TAGS"

For production

github_changelog_generator --future-release $NEW_RELEASE --exclude-tags-regex 'dev\d$'

You can ignore warnings about missing PR commits like below as these relate to PRs to branches other than master:

Warning: PR 908 merge commit was not found in the release branch or tagged git history and no rebased SHA comment was found

Export new release notes to variable

export RELEASE_NOTES=$(grep -Poz '(?<=\# Changelog\n\n)(.|\n)+?(?=\#\#)' CHANGELOG.md | tr '\0' '\n' )
echo "$RELEASE_NOTES"  # Check the output and copy paste if neccessary

Commit and push the changed files

git commit --all --verbose -m "Prepare $NEW_RELEASE"
git push upstream release/$NEW_RELEASE -u

Create a PR for the release, merge it, and re-fetch the master

Create the PR

gh pr create --title "Prepare $NEW_RELEASE" --body "$RELEASE_NOTES" --label release-prep --base master

Merge the PR once the CI passes

Create a squash commit and add the markdown from the PR description to the commit description.

gh pr merge --squash --body "$RELEASE_NOTES"

Rebase local master

git checkout master
git fetch upstream master
git rebase upstream/master

Create a release tag

Note, add changelog release notes as the tag commit message so gh release create --notes-from-tag can be used to create a release draft.

git tag --annotate $NEW_RELEASE -m "$RELEASE_NOTES"
git push upstream $NEW_RELEASE

Create release

Pre-releases

gh release create "$NEW_RELEASE" --verify-tag --notes-from-tag --title "$NEW_RELEASE" --draft --latest=false --prerelease

Production release

gh release create "$NEW_RELEASE" --verify-tag --notes-from-tag --title "$NEW_RELEASE" --draft --latest=true

Manually publish the release

Go to the linked URL, verify the contents, and click "release" button to trigger the release CI.

Patch releases

This requires git commit signing to be enabled.

https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/managing-commit-signature-verification/about-commit-signature-verification

Create release branch

For the first patch release since a new release only

export NEW_RELEASE=x.x.x.x
export CURRENT_RELEASE=x.x.x

git fetch upstream $CURRENT_RELEASE
git checkout patch
git fetch upstream patch
git rebase upstream/patch
git fetch upstream $CURRENT_RELEASE
git merge $CURRENT_RELEASE --ff-only
git push upstream patch -u
git checkout -b release/$NEW_RELEASE

For subsequent patch releases

export NEW_RELEASE=x.x.x.x

git checkout patch
git fetch upstream patch
git rebase upstream/patch
git checkout -b release/$NEW_RELEASE

Cherry pick required commits

git cherry-pick commitSHA1 -S
git cherry-pick commitSHA2 -S

Update the version number

sed -i "0,/version = /{s/version = .*/version = \"${NEW_RELEASE}\"/}" pyproject.toml

Manually edit the changelog

github_changlog generator_does not work with patch releases so manually add the section for the new release to CHANGELOG.md.

Export new release notes to variable

export RELEASE_NOTES=$(grep -Poz '(?<=\# Changelog\n\n)(.|\n)+?(?=\#\#)' CHANGELOG.md | tr '\0' '\n' )
echo "$RELEASE_NOTES"  # Check the output and copy paste if neccessary

Commit and push the changed files

git commit --all --verbose -m "Prepare $NEW_RELEASE" -S
git push upstream release/$NEW_RELEASE -u

Create a PR for the release, merge it, and re-fetch patch

Create the PR

gh pr create --title "$NEW_RELEASE" --body "$RELEASE_NOTES" --label release-prep --base patch

Merge the PR once the CI passes

Create a merge commit and add the markdown from the PR description to the commit description.

gh pr merge --merge --body "$RELEASE_NOTES"

Rebase local patch

git checkout patch
git fetch upstream patch
git rebase upstream/patch

Create a release tag

git tag -s --annotate $NEW_RELEASE -m "$RELEASE_NOTES"
git push upstream $NEW_RELEASE

Create release

gh release create "$NEW_RELEASE" --verify-tag --notes-from-tag --title "$NEW_RELEASE" --draft --latest=true

Then go into github, review and release

Merge patch back to master

git checkout master
git fetch upstream master
git rebase upstream/master
git checkout -b janitor/merge_patch
git fetch upstream patch
git merge upstream/patch --no-commit
# If there are any merge conflicts run the following command which will simply make master win
# Do not run it if there are no conflicts as it will end up checking out upstream/master
git diff --name-only --diff-filter=U | xargs git checkout upstream/master
# Check the diff is as expected
git diff --staged
# The only diff should be the version in pyproject.toml and uv.lock, and CHANGELOG.md
# unless a change made on patch that was not part of a cherry-pick commit
# If there are any other unexpected diffs `git checkout upstream/master [thefilename]`
git commit -m "Merge patch into local master" -S
git push upstream janitor/merge_patch -u
gh pr create --title "Merge patch into master" --body '' --label release-prep --base master

Temporarily allow merge commits to master

1. Open repository settings
2. From the left select Rules > Rulesets
3. Open master ruleset, under Bypass list select + Add bypass
4. Check Repository admin > Add selected, select Save changes

Merge commit the PR

gh pr merge --merge --body ""

Revert allow merge commits

1. Under Bypass list select ... next to Repository admins
2. Delete bypass, select Save changes
