Create Versioning Tag
Once changes are implemented and the changelog is updated, create a version tag on GitHub. This version tag is used for the versioning in the changelog file and also to be able and identify versions in the future. For example, we might be working on version 2.6 of a document but there is an issue with 2.5 – we might not want to hold up with the change until the new version is out but to publish 2.6 from the 2.5 branch and move everything we did for 2.6 to 2.7.
Click on the X Releases
tab on the home page of the repository:
Push the “Draft a New Release” button:
From the drop-down, chose the last commit to include all changes for that release. In the tag version field, enter vX.X.X
(so the letter v
followed by the version number calculated in the Update Changelog page.)
Fill out the other fields and press Publish Release.
