Releasing

Scripts and configuration files for publishing a kustomize release on the releases page.

Build a release locally

Install cloud-build-local, then run

./releasing/localbuild.sh

to build artifacts under ./dist.

Do a real (cloud) release

Get on an up-to-date master branch:

git fetch upstream
git checkout master
git rebase upstream/master

review tags

git tag -l
git ls-remote --tags upstream

define the new tag

Define the version per semver principlesl it must start with v:

version=v3.0.0-pre

delete the tag if you wish to replace it upstream

Local delete:

git tag --delete $version

Upstream delete:

# Disable push protection:
git remote set-url --push upstream git@github.com:kubernetes-sigs/kustomize.git

# The empty space before the colon effectively means delete the tag.
git push upstream :refs/tags/$version

# Enable push protection:
git remote set-url --push upstream no_push

Optionally visit the [release page] and delete (what has now become) the draft release for that version.

tag locally

git tag -a $version -m "Release $version"

trigger the cloud build

Pushing the tag will trigger a job in Google Cloud Build to put a new release on the releases page.

git push upstream $version
