Contributing to LPC8xx HAL

Release Procedure

This section is intended for project maintainers only. It assumes that you can push to the repository (here called upstream, but primarily work on your own fork (origin),

  1. Check out feature branch for the release (replace x.y.z with actual version)
$ git checkout -b release-x.y.z
  1. Push feature branch to your fork (required for the next steps to work)
$ git push -u origin release-x.y.z

  1. Update changelog

  2. Update versions in README.md, if version bump is major or minor

  3. Do cargo-release dry run, review its actions

$ cargo release --level major|minor|patch --dry-run
  1. Run cargo-release
$ cargo release --level major|minor|patch

  1. Open pull request, review it, merge it

  2. Push the tag that cargo-release created to upstream

git checkout master
git pull upstream master
git push --tag upstream master

That's it! If anything about this document is unclear, feel free to open an issue. If you have questions regarding a pull request that you're working on, just open the pull request and ask your questions there.
