Releasing a new gem version

brendon commented 8 years ago

@fabn, could you run me through how the new change log generator works? I'd like to release a new gem version.

Hi @brendon detailed instructions are available here

TL;DR

Generate a github token here for your github username
Release the gem and push the tag to github
After you pushed to github (changelog needs the tag available online) run the rake task
Inspect and commit updated changelog
Push it :dancers: :dancers:

rake release
git tag vXYZ
git push --tags
# After you get the token
export CHANGELOG_GITHUB_TOKEN="«your-40-digit-github-token»"
rake changelog
git diff # To check the changelog
git -a commit -m 'Updated changelog'
git push

Let's put this in a doc somewhere. Great job doing this @fabn!

Indeed :) Thanks @fabn. @swanandp, I'll have a crack at the instructions then post them in the wiki once I've confirmed they're working well :)

Hi guys, I've released the 0.7.3 gem version. It looks like rake release creates the tag in github also, so I didn't run git tag... and git push --tags.

The wiki page is here: https://github.com/swanandp/acts_as_list/wiki/Creating-a-new-gem-version

Let me know if there are any problems.
