Setup your Installation to run a Grunt Release

• Install Node, NPM, and grunt-cli globally if not already installed.
  • https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/installing-node.js-via-package-manager
• Install grunt-init globally if not already installed.
  • npm install -g grunt-init
• Install composer to usr/local/bin/composer if not already installed
• Switch to this git repositor directory
• Install node modules
  • npm install
  • BTW On OSX you generally need sudo to make this work.

Do a Grunt Release

• Merge 2.x branch to master.
• Set new version in package.json
• To make a new release (update version, tag, create zip, push all those changes to git origin)
  • Set a new version number in package.json
  • Run grunt release

What It Does?

• Changes version number in all the places that is needed.
• Updates translations
• Makes a commit with version number.
• Tags the Git repo with new version number.
• Updates SVN trunk.
• Makes a new SVN tag.

Preparing Next Release

• Merge Master into 2.x
• Set New Version in package.json to next incremental version with Alpha (ie, 2.6.x-a-1)
• Run grunt version_number to update the version number in all related files
• Run grunt branch_name_2x to update the branch numbers in all files
• Commit changes to 2.x and push

Future Tweaks we need to make

• Don't do a full SVN checkout, make use of partial checkouts (because of /tags/)
