# 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

```bash
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:

```bash
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):

```bash
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

```bash
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:

```bash
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:

```bash
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
```
