Vexta Release Workflow

Repositories

• Private development repository: ~/Projects/vexta

  Contains the full development history. Push is disabled for all remotes.

• Public release repository: ~/vexta-public

  Contains only clean public snapshots. This is the only repository allowed to push to GitHub.

Future release process

1. Finish and test changes in ~/Projects/vexta.
2. Create release binaries and checksums.
3. Copy the current tracked source snapshot into ~/vexta-public.
4. Review the public diff carefully.
5. Commit the public snapshot with a release-focused commit message.
6. Create a version tag such as v0.1.1.
7. Push only from ~/vexta-public.
8. Create the GitHub Release and attach binaries and checksum files.

Important

Never push directly from ~/Projects/vexta. Never push private phase tags or development branches to the public repository.
