CosmoSim Release Process

This process is crude, but sufficient for a single developer. It should be reconsidered if a team is formed.

• Branches
  • develop is the main development branch
  • release/X.Y should be made for each minor release
    • new features and bug fixes are merged into each appropriate release branch when they are approved.
  • master should always be aligned with the last stable release
• Tags
  • vX.Y.Z tag is made for each release
  • test-release-* can be made to make a test or draft release
    • the workflow for ordinary and test releases is the same, except that the latter is tagged as draft

When a tag prefixed by v is pushed to github, a workflow is triggered to make the release. This will build the system for linux and windows and create downloadable assets.
