Release

Create and push a new version tag to trigger the GoReleaser CI pipeline.

Instructions

1. Check current state

   • Run git status to ensure working directory is clean
   • If there are uncommitted changes, stop and ask the user to commit first

2. Get the latest tag

   • Run git tag -l --sort=-v:refname | head -1 to get the current version
   • Current versioning follows semver: v0.0.X

3. Determine next version

   • Ask the user what type of bump they want (patch/minor/major) or if they want a specific version
   • Default to patch bump (e.g., v0.0.5 -> v0.0.6)

4. Gather release notes

   • Run git log $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..HEAD --oneline to see commits since last tag
   • Summarize the changes for the tag message

5. Create and push the tag

   • Create annotated tag: git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "Release message"
   • Push the tag: git push origin vX.Y.Z

6. Confirm success

   • Provide the GitHub releases URL: https://github.com/lch88/logbro/releases

Tag Message Format

Use a concise summary of changes. Examples:

• Single change: Fix homebrew cask configuration
• Multiple changes: Add dark mode support, fix memory leak, improve performance
