Releasing Fleet

Setup

This script release requires various secrets to utilize chat GPT for formatting as well as posting to Slack channels automatically

  OPEN_API_KEY           Open API key used for fallback if not provided via -o or --open-api-key option
  SLACK_GENERAL_TOKEN    Slack token to publish via curl to #general
  SLACK_HELP_INFRA_TOKEN Slack token to publish via curl to #help-infrastructure
  SLACK_HELP_ENG_TOKEN   Slack token to publish via curl to #help-engineering

This requires: jq gh git curl awk sed make ack grep

The script will check that each of these are installed and available before running

Before running the script

Make sure all tickets are tagged with the correct milestone.

I recommend filtering by both the milestone you expect and also double check no milestone to make sure you haven't missed anything

For example no tickets still in Ready / In Progress should be in the milestone we are about to release.

Minor Release (typically end of sprint)

example

# Build release candidate and changelogs and QA ticket
./tools/release/publish_release.sh -m

# Do QA until ready to release

# - QA is passed on all teams and ready for release
# - Merge changelog and versions update PR into main
# - git pull main locally with the changelog as the latest commit
