Release

Managing versioning and releases is done using semantic-release. This is a tool that automatically determines the next version number based on the commit history. It also automatically creates a release and publishes it to GitHub Packages.

Commit messages

Commit messages must follow a commit format inspired by the esLint conventional commit format. This is enforced with a github workflow on all pull requests. The format is as follows:

<tag>: [ticket/dependabot] - <description>

Eg:
Docs: [AEA-1234] - Update README.md
Upgrade: [dependabot] - Bump pip-licenses from 4.3.3 to 4.3.4

Supported tags and their meanings are defined in the contributing guidelines.

Running a release

Once all desired pull requests have been merged to main, a release can be run using the Release to GitHub Packages workflow. This will:

  • Run quality checks on the code, including license checks, linting, and unit tests.
  • Run semantic-release to determine the next version number and create a release.
  • Publish the release to GitHub Packages.
