Publish Release

Tag the merged release, build the NuGet package, and push to NuGet.org.

Pre-condition: The release PR must already be merged into master before running this.

Step 1: Confirm Version

Read the version from src/StatsdClient/StatsdClient.csproj (<PackageVersion>). Show it to the user and confirm: "Publish release X.Y.Z?" before proceeding.

Step 2: Switch to Master and Pull

git checkout master
git pull origin master

Re-read <PackageVersion> from src/StatsdClient/StatsdClient.csproj and verify it still matches X.Y.Z. If it does not, stop and tell the user to ensure the release PR is merged before running this skill.

Step 3: Tag the Release and Publish GitHub Release

Use gh release create — creates the tag, pushes it, and publishes a GitHub Release in one step.

Extract the X.Y.Z section from CHANGELOG.md into a temp file (everything between the ## X.Y.Z heading and the next ## heading), then:

gh release create X.Y.Z --target master --title "X.Y.Z" --notes-file <changelog-section-file>

If extraction is awkward, fall back to --generate-notes (auto from commits/PRs):

gh release create X.Y.Z --target master --title "X.Y.Z" --generate-notes

Verify tag pushed: git fetch --tags && git tag -l X.Y.Z.

Step 4: Build NuGet Package

dotnet pack src/StatsdClient/StatsdClient.csproj -c Release -o artifacts/nuget

Verify the command exits 0 and that artifacts/nuget/DogStatsD-CSharp-Client.X.Y.Z.nupkg exists.

Step 5: Push to NuGet.org

Pause here. Ask the user:

"Ready to push DogStatsD-CSharp-Client.X.Y.Z.nupkg to NuGet.org. Is NUGET_API_KEY set? Proceed?"

Only run after explicit confirmation.

Push the main package:

dotnet nuget push artifacts/nuget/DogStatsD-CSharp-Client.X.Y.Z.nupkg \
  --api-key "$NUGET_API_KEY" \
  --source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json \
  --skip-duplicate

Push symbols if present:

dotnet nuget push artifacts/nuget/DogStatsD-CSharp-Client.X.Y.Z.snupkg \
  --api-key "$NUGET_API_KEY" \
  --source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json \
  --skip-duplicate
