Releasing

This document describes the steps to release a new version of digcaa.

Prerequisites

• You have commit access to the repository
• You have push access to the repository

Release process

1. Determine the new version

   VERSION=0.X.0

   Use simple incremental versioning:

   • Current version: v0.5.0
   • Next version: v0.6.0, v0.7.0, etc.

2. Run tests and confirm they pass

   go test ./...

3. Build and confirm it compiles

   go build ./...

4. Commit any pending changes

   git add .
   git commit -m "Description of changes"

5. Create a tag

   git tag -a v$VERSION -s -m "Release $VERSION"

6. Push the changes and tag

   git push origin main
   git push origin v$VERSION

Post-release

• Verify the new version appears on GitHub releases

• Wait a few minutes for the Go module proxy to index the new version

• Test installation:

  go install github.com/weppos/digcaa/cmd/digcaa@v$VERSION

• Users can now install with @latest to get the new version
