name: release description: Release workflow for uti project. Use when user says "release", "create release", "bump version", "publish version", or wants to prepare a new version for distribution.

Release Workflow

Create a new release for uti (Tauri app + daemon).

Important: Release is created from develop branch, not main. Ensure all features for the release are merged to develop first.

Usage

Run the release workflow with the desired version:

Copygh workflow run release.yml -f version=X.Y.Z

Example:

Copygh workflow run release.yml -f version=0.0.4

What It Does

The workflow automatically (no human intervention required):

1. Creates release branch and bumps version in all 6 locations
2. Creates PR with auto-merge enabled
3. Waits for CI to pass
4. Auto-merges PR when CI succeeds
5. Creates tag on merge (triggers release build)
6. Builds packages (Tauri RPM, daemon RPM, GNOME extension)
7. Creates GitHub Release with artifacts

Version Format

MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH - Semantic versioning (e.g., 0.2.0)

Files Updated

• package.json (root)
• app/package.json
• app/src-tauri/tauri.conf.json
• app/src-tauri/Cargo.toml
• daemon/Cargo.toml
• daemon/uti-daemon.spec

Alternative: Manual Tag Push

If you prefer manual control, you can still create a tag manually:

Copygit tag vX.Y.Z
git push origin vX.Y.Z

This triggers only the build and release jobs (skips version bump).
