3 * Make sure you're on main and synced to HEAD
4 * Ensure the project builds and tests run (sanity check only, obviously)
5 * `parallel -j0 exec ::: test/*_test` can help ensure everything at least
7 * Prepare release notes
8 * `git log $(git describe --abbrev=0 --tags)..HEAD` gives you the list of
9 commits between the last annotated tag and HEAD
10 * Pick the most interesting.
11 * Create one last commit that updates the version saved in `CMakeLists.txt` and the
12 `__version__` variable in `bindings/python/google_benchmark/__init__.py`to the release
13 version you're creating. (This version will be used if benchmark is installed from the
14 archive you'll be creating in the next step.)
17 project (benchmark VERSION 1.6.0 LANGUAGES CXX)
21 # bindings/python/google_benchmark/__init__.py
25 __version__ = "1.6.0" # <-- change this to the release version you are creating
30 * Create a release through github's interface
31 * Note this will create a lightweight tag.
32 * Update this to an annotated tag:
34 * `git tag -a -f <tag> <tag>`
35 * `git push --force --tags origin`
