Release Patch Candidate
Pre-requisites
- You have some pick requests that qualify for a patch release and people have agreed it’s good to release a patch.
1. Check out the latest version from release branch
# Be on relevant release branch
# update the stable branch with tags
git pull origin <release-branch> --tags
# cherry pick relevant commits
git cherry-pick <commit>
# once done picking, push changes to the remote
git push
2. Test the current changes
Before continuing further, follow the testing guide to ensure the release doesn't have any major issues.
3. Run bump-oss-version script
# run a script to bump the version
# You most likely **don't** want this release marked as "latest"
./scripts/bump-oss-version.js --version x.y.z-rc.x --token circle-ci-token
