Create a new version

Prerequisites

• Local repository is on master branch
• Local repository is clean (no unstaged modifications, new files, etc.)
• Run git pull to make sure that the repository is in sync with origin

Process

1. Run npm version patch|minor|major to create the new version (cf. SemVer)

   If the command succeeds:

   • a branch with the version number will be created
   • the version number will be modified in package.json and package-lock.json
   • changes will be pushed to Github for that branch
   • finally the local repository will switch back to master

2. Create a PR on Github to get the new version branch merged

3. Once the PR is merged, create a new release using the correct version number for the tag name (example: v1.0.0 or v0.1.0, please do not omit the 'v')

4. To generate the changelog:

• Run the command: npx git-changelog -t v##### (Where v##### corresponds to the last tag/version.)
