Take the following steps to release a new version of gopatch.

  1. Ensure that the CHANGELOG.md has an entry for every user-facing change. Do not add entries for changes that are not user-facing.

  2. Change the "Unreleased" header to the target version number without the v prefix and add today's date in YYYY-MM-DD format. For example, if the target version is v1.2.3, add:

    -## Unreleased
+## 1.2.3 - 2021-08-18

  3. Update the VERSION constant in the Installation section of the README.md.

    -VERSION=1.2.2
+VERSION=1.2.3

  4. Create a new PR with the change and the following title:

    Preparing release v1.2.3

  5. After landing the PR, tag the release with an annotated git tag and push the tag.

    $ git pull
$ git tag -a v1.2.3 -m v1.2.3
$ git push origin v1.2.3
