Release steps

  1. create a release-[x.y.z] branch from tip of master (or whatever release commit)

    git checkout master && git pull && git checkout -b release-2.1.0
    
  2. bump package.json + update CHANGELOG version links for all releasing packages (i.e., root + any resolvers)

    In changelog for core plugin, normally leave [Unreleased] but update its link at the bottom to be rooted at the new version's tag, and add a link for the new version rooted at last version's tag.

    [Unreleased]: https://github.com/benmosher/eslint-plugin-import/compare/v2.0.1...HEAD
    [2.0.1]: https://github.com/benmosher/eslint-plugin-import/compare/v2.0.0...v2.0.1
    

    becomes

    [Unreleased]: https://github.com/benmosher/eslint-plugin-import/compare/v2.1.0...HEAD
    [2.1.0]: https://github.com/benmosher/eslint-plugin-import/compare/v2.0.1...v2.1.0
    [2.0.1]: https://github.com/benmosher/eslint-plugin-import/compare/v2.0.0...v2.0.1
    

    Generally, don't use npm version for this because it creates a tag, which I normally wait until signoff from contributors and actually npm publish-ing to snap the tag.

  3. create pull request from release-[x.y.z] into release branch

    I like this because it

    • lists all commits in the release
    • provides a commentary location to discuss the release
    • builds in CI and provides test results
  4. iterate on feedback

    • handle other issues
    • merge more PRs
    • fix issues in changelog/docs
  5. npm publish from release-[x.y.z] branch

    • don't forget resolvers!
  6. tag commit (v[x.y.z])

    • again, not forgetting resolvers, if needed (resolvers/[name]/v[t.u.v])
  7. merge release-[x.y.z] into release (

    • ideally fast-forward, probably with Git CLI instead of Github
  8. merge release into master

Done!
