Release process of GitHub projects

When the code is ready to be released:

  • Add change log to CHANGELOG.md
  • Commit and push it to GitHub
  • Create release tag(e.g. 1.1) by providing changes added to CHANGELOG.md:
    • Create tag.md file and copy target release changes from CHANGELOG.md.
    • git tag -F tag.md 1.1
    • git push --tags
  • Visit the tag's page in GitHub
  • Choose "Add release notes"
  • Enter the tag name into "Release title" (e.g. 1.1)
  • Enter the content of tag.md into "Describe this release". Preview it to last check.
