Release process

Creating a release

Trigger a new release with make release.

At this point you'll see a preview changelog in the terminal. If you're happy with the changelog, press y to continue, otherwise you can abort and adjust the labels on the PRs and issues to be included in the release and re-run the release trigger command.

Retracting a release

If a release is found to be problematic, it can be retracted with the following steps:

  • Deleting the GitHub Release
  • Untag the docker images in the docker.io registry
  • Revert the brew formula in wagoodman/homebrew-dive to point to the previous release
  • Add a new retract entry in the go.mod for the versioned release

Note: do not delete release tags from the git repository since there may already be references to the release in the go proxy, which will cause confusion when trying to reuse the tag later (the H1 hash will not match and there will be a warning when users try to pull the new release).
