* Push the new release tag: git push origin master tag v$(VERSION)
You can view unpushed local-only tags with git push --tags --dry-run
(and push them by omitting the --dry-run, if there are no extras).
View all tags in the repo: git tag -l
View unpushed local-only tags: git push --tags --dry-run
(and push them by omitting the --dry-run, if there are no extras).
If you forget to make the tag at the time of the release, you can push
it at any time. But if you want to make the date be the same as the
actual release (from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4404172):
commit=.... # prefix of the release commit we want to tag
git checkout $commit
GIT_COMMITTER_DATE="$(git show --format=%aD | head -1)"
echo $GIT_COMMITTER_DATE # make sure it's as expected
# where VERSION is the automake version we want for the tag name,
# e.g., 1.18.1
git tag -a v$VERSION -m"v$VERSION"
git push origin --tags # push
# return to normal head:
git checkout master
unset GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
* For stable releases you also need to update the manuals on www.gnu.org.
