## Releases | ||

New releases should be created from release branches originating from the `dev` branch. When you are ready to begin the release process: | ||
New 7.x releases should be created from release branches originating from the `dev` branch. If you are doing a 6.x release, please see the [v6 section](#v6-releases) below. | ||
|
||
When you are ready to begin the release process: | ||
|
||
- Make sure you've pulled all the changes from GitHub for both `dev` and `main` branches | ||
- `git checkout main && git pull origin main` | ||
- `git checkout dev && git pull origin dev` | ||
- Check out the `dev` branch | ||
- Create a new `release-next` branch (eg, `git checkout -b release-next`) | ||
- `git checkout dev` | ||
- Create a new `release-next` branch | ||
- `git checkout -b release-next` | ||
- Technically, any `release-*` branch name will work as this is what triggers our GitHub CI workflow that will ultimately publish the release - but we just always use `release-next` | ||

||
Changesets will do most of the heavy lifting for our releases. When changes are made to the codebase, an accompanying changeset file should be included to document the change. Those files will dictate how Changesets will version our packages and what shows up in the changelogs. | ||
|
||
### Starting a new pre-release | ||
|
||
- Ensure you are on the new `release-next` branch | ||
- `git checkout release-next` | ||
- Enter Changesets pre-release mode using the `pre` tag: | ||
- `pnpm changeset pre enter pre` | ||
- Commit the change and push the `release-next` branch to GitHub | ||
- `git commit -a -m "Enter prerelease mode"` | ||
- `git push --set-upstream origin release-next` | ||
- Wait for the release workflow to finish - the Changesets action will open a PR that will increment all versions and generate the changelogs | ||
- Wait for the changesets CI workflow to finish which will open a PR pointed to `release-next` that will increment all versions and generate the changelogs | ||
- If you need/want to make any changes to the `CHANGELOG.md` files, you can do so and commit directly to the PR branch | ||
- This is usually not required for prereleases | ||
- Once the changesets files are in good shape, merge the PR to `release-next` | ||

### Prepare the draft release notes | ||
|

- At this point, you can begin crafting the release notes for the eventual stable release in the root `CHANGELOG.md` file in the repo | ||

- Copy the commented out template for a new release and update the version numbers and links accordingly | ||

Hotfix releases follow the same process as standard releases above, but the `release-next` branch should be branched off latest `main` instead of `dev`. Once the stable hotfix is published, the `release-next` branch should be merged back into both `main` and `dev` just like a normal release. | ||

### 6.x releases from the `v6` branch | ||
### v6 releases | ||
|
||
After the `6.25.0` release, we branched off a `v6` branch for continued `6.x` work and merged the `v7` branch into `dev` to begin preparation for the `7.0.0` release. Until we launch `7.0.0`, we need to `6.x` releases in a slightly different manner. | ||
6.x releases are managed in a similar process to the above but from the `v6` branch, and they do not automatically merge changes back to `dev`/`main`. | ||
|
||
- Changes for 6.x should be PR'd to the `v6` branch with a changeset | ||
- Once merged, cherry-pick or re-do those changes against the `dev` branch so that they show up in v7 | ||
- This does not apply to things like adding deprecation warnings that should not land in v7 | ||
- You should not include a changeset in your commit to `dev` | ||
- Starting the release process for 6.x is the same as outlined above, with a few changes: | ||
- If these changes should also be applied to v7, cherry-pick or re-do those changes against the `dev` branch (including the changeset). These changes will make it to `main` with the next v7 release. | ||
- Starting the release process for 6.x is the same as outlined above, with a few exceptioins: | ||
- Branch from `v6` instead of `dev` | ||
- Use the name `release-v6` to avoid collisions with the ongoing v7 (pre)releases using `release-next` | ||
- **Do not** merge `main` into the `release-v6` branch | ||
- The process of the PRs and iterating on prereleases remains the same | ||
- Use `release-v6` instead of `release-next` | ||
- Do **not** merge `main` into `release-v6` | ||

### Notes on 7.0.0-pre.N released during the v7 prerelease | ||
|
||
During the v7 prerelease, the process for iterating and shipping a new `7.0.0-pre.N` release is slightly more streamlined than the steps outlined [above](#iterating-a-pre-release). Because we want _everything_ in `dev` to ship in the prerelease, cutting a new prerelease is simply: | ||
|
||
- Merge `dev` -> `release-next` | ||
- This will include the changesets for changes committed to `dev` since the last prerelease | ||
- This will automatically open a new Changesets PR for the new prerelease version | ||
- Confirm that the commits in this release are all included in `dev` already, and if not you can manually bring them over by cherry-picking the commit or re-doing the work | ||
