To ensure a clean upload, use a clean updated checkout, and run the following:
git checkout {version}
npm install
npm publish
This is kept in a different repository to avoid the accumulated size when adding per-release bundles.
- Checkout forge-dist.
- Build a clean Forge version you want to distribute:
git checkout {version}
npm install
npm run build
- Copy files to
forge-dist
:cp dist/forge.min.js{,.map} dist/prime.worker.min.js{,.map} FORGEDIST/dist/
- Release
forge-dist
:git commit -a -m "Release {version}."
git tag {version}
git push
git push origin {version}
In order to provide support for Bower (and similar) for current built bundle releases and historical releases the forge-dist repository needs to be updated with code changes and tags from the main repository. Once a historical branch, like 0.6.x, on the main repository is updated and tagged, do the following:
- Checkout forge-dist.
- Setup an upstream branch:
git remote add upstream [email protected]:digitalbazaar/forge.git
git fetch upstream
- Merge changes:
git checkout 0.6.x
git merge upstream/0.6.x
- Push code and tag(s):
git push
git push origin {version}
