# Release steps
1. create a `release-[x.y.z]` branch from tip of `main` (or whatever release commit)
```bash
git checkout main && 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.
```markdown
[Unreleased]: https://github.com/import-js/eslint-plugin-import/compare/v2.0.1...HEAD
[2.0.1]: https://github.com/import-js/eslint-plugin-import/compare/v2.0.0...v2.0.1
```
becomes
```markdown
[Unreleased]: https://github.com/import-js/eslint-plugin-import/compare/v2.1.0...HEAD
[2.1.0]: https://github.com/import-js/eslint-plugin-import/compare/v2.0.1...v2.1.0
[2.0.1]: https://github.com/import-js/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 `main`
Done!
