Releasing

Follow these steps to release a new version of bootstrap_form to rubygems.org.

Prerequisites

  • You must have commit rights to the bootstrap_form repository.
  • You must have push rights for the bootstrap_form gem on rubygems.org.
  • You must be using Ruby >= 2.2.
  • Your GitHub credentials must be available to Chandler via ~/.netrc or an environment variable, as explained here.

How to release

  1. Run bundle install to make sure that you have all the gems necessary for testing and releasing.
  2. Ensure the tests are passing by running bundle exec rake.
  3. Determine which would be the correct next version number according to semver.
  4. Update the version in ./lib/bootstrap_form/version.rb.
  5. Update the CHANGELOG.md (for an illustration of these steps, refer to the 4.0.0.alpha1 commit as an example):
    • Rename the Pending Release section to [version][] (date) with appropriate values version and date
    • Remove the "Your contribution here!" bullets from the release notes
    • Add a new Pending Release section at the top of the file with a template for contributors to fill in, including "Your contribution here!" bullets
    • Add the appropriate GitHub diff links to the footer of the document
  6. Update the installation instructions in README.md to use the new version.
  7. Commit the CHANGELOG and version changes in a single commit; the message should be "Preparing vX.Y.Z" where X.Y.Z is the version being released.
  8. Run bundle exec rake release; this will tag, push to GitHub, publish to rubygems.org, and upload the latest CHANGELOG entry to the GitHub releases page.
