Releasing a package makes your package available on the public ROS 2 buildfarm. This will:

• Make your package available to be installed via package managers (eg. apt on Ubuntu) for all supported Linux platforms in a ROS distribution as described in REP 2000.
• Allow your package to have API documentation automatically generated.
• Make your package part of the ROS Index.
• (Optionally) Allow you to have automatic CI run for pull requests in your repository.

Follow one of the guides below to get your package released:

• :doc:`Index Your Packages <Index-Your-Packages>` - if this is the first release for the package
• :doc:`First Time Release <First-Time-Release>` - if this is the first release for the package, but it is already indexed
• :doc:`Subsequent Releases <Subsequent-Releases>` - if you are releasing a new version of a package that has already been released

After successfully following the instructions, your package will be released into the ROS ecosystem on the next distro synchronization!
