Releasing

Follow these steps to release a new version of bootstrap_form to rubygems.org.

Prerequisites

  • You must have commit rights to the bootstrap_form repository.
  • You must have push rights for the bootstrap_form gem on rubygems.org.
  • You must be using a Ruby version that is not end-of-life.

How to release

  1. Run BUNDLE_GEMFILE=gemfiles/7.0.gemfile bundle update to make sure that you have all the gems necessary for testing and releasing.
  2. Ensure the tests are passing by running BUNDLE_GEMFILE=gemfiles/7.0.gemfile bundle update. (Currently this step shows a lot of warnings about method redefinitions, but otherwise everything must be green before release.)
  3. Determine which would be the correct next version number according to semver.
  4. Update the version in ./lib/bootstrap_form/version.rb.
  5. Update the GitHub diff links at the beginning of CHANGELOG.md (The pattern should be obvious when you look at them).
  6. Update the installation instructions in README.md to use the new version.
  7. Commit the CHANGELOG and version changes in a single commit; the message should be "Preparing vX.Y.Z" where X.Y.Z is the version being released.
  8. Run bundle exec rake release; this will tag, push to GitHub, and publish to rubygems.org.
