Releasing Shopify CLI

  1. Check the Semantic Versioning page for info on how to version the new release: http://semver.org

  2. Make sure you're on the most recent main

    $ git checkout main
$ git pull

  3. Create a branch named release_X_Y_Z (replacing X_Y_Z with the intended release version)

    $ git checkout -b release_X_Y_Z

  4. Update the version of Shopify CLI in lib/shopify-cli/version.rb

  5. Update the version of Shopify CLI at the top of Gemfile.lock (failing to do so causes the CI build to fail)

  6. Add an entry for the new release to CHANGELOG.md

  7. Commit the changes with a commit message like "Packaging for release X.Y.Z"

    $ git commit -am "Packaging for release vX.Y.Z"

  8. Push out the changes

    $ git push -u origin release_X_Y_Z

  9. Open a PR for the branch, get necessary approvals from code owners and merge into main branch. Note that the PR title will be the release note in Shipit, so make sure it mentions the release

  10. Deploy using Shipit

  11. Update your main branch to the latest version

    $ git checkout main
$ git pull

  12. On local machine and AFTER gem has been published to https://rubygems.org, run

    $ rake package

    This will generate the .deb, .rpm and brew formula files, which will be located in packaging/builds/X.Y.Z/.

  13. Clone the Shopify/homebrew-shopify repository (if not already cloned), and then

    • create a branch named release_X_Y_Z_of_shopify-cli
    • update the brew formula in shopify-cli.rb with the generated formula in packaging/builds/X.Y.Z/ in the Shopify/shopify-cli repo (from the rake package step above)
    • commit the change and create a PR on the Shopify Homebrew repository
    • when PR is approved, merge into main branch

  14. Go to releases page of Shopify/shopify-cli repo and create a new release:

    • use the tag created by Shipit (should be "vX.Y.Z")
    • release title = "Version X.Y.Z"
    • description should be 
      Release of version X.Y.Z of Shopify CLI

Please refer to [CHANGELOG](https://github.com/Shopify/shopify-cli/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) for details.
    • upload the .deb and .rpm files from packaging/builds/X.Y.Z/ (generated in step 9)
    • if it's a pre-release version, select the "This is a pre-release" checkbox
    • and click "Publish release".
