Release Procedure

1. From a clean work tree, execute:

   This will create the branch ready to be pushed.

2. Open a PR targeting main.

3. All tests must pass and the PR must be approved by at least another maintainer.

4. Publish to PyPI by pushing a tag:

   git tag X.Y.Z release-X.Y.Z
   git push git@github.com:pytest-dev/pluggy.git X.Y.Z
   

   The tag will trigger a new build, which will deploy to PyPI.
