Release Tag

release-tag

Overview

Completes the release by fetching the latest main, creating an annotated git tag, and pushing it to trigger the .github/workflows/release.yml deploy pipeline.

Run this after the release branch has been merged into main (i.e., after /release-branch completes and the merge is confirmed).

Workflow

1. Fetch and switch to latest main

git checkout main
git pull origin main

2. Determine the version to tag

Read the current version from package.json:

node -p "require('./package.json').version"
# Example output: 2.5.0
NEW_VERSION=<version>

3. Create git tag

git tag -a v<NEW_VERSION> -m "Release v<NEW_VERSION>"

4. Push tag (deploy trigger)

git push origin v<NEW_VERSION>

Pushing the tag triggers the .github/workflows/release.yml workflow which runs the full release pipeline (build, publish).

Important Notes

• Tags must use the v prefix (e.g., v2.5.0).
• Tags are applied to the main branch only.
• If npm publish is applicable for this project, the .github/workflows/release.yml workflow handles it automatically on tag push.
