Deployment Process

This library is published to Maven Central. The deployment process is automated using Concourse CI.

Build Pipeline

Commits trigger builds in the libraries-build pipeline.

Release Process

1. Create a SNAPSHOT tag: Create an annotated tag on the main branch for the next release with the SNAPSHOT postfix (e.g., 1.2.1-SNAPSHOT)

   git tag -a 1.2.1-SNAPSHOT -m "Start development of version 1.2.1"
   git push origin 1.2.1-SNAPSHOT

2. Development: Branch, commit, push, and create pull requests as usual

3. Release: When the current snapshot is ready to become a release, create the release tag (e.g., 1.2.1)

   git tag -a 1.2.1 -m "Release version 1.2.1"
   git push origin 1.2.1

4. Next development cycle: Once the release build completes and the new release is available on Maven Central, tag the current commit with the next release version's SNAPSHOT

   git tag -a 1.2.2-SNAPSHOT -m "Start development of version 1.2.2"
   git push origin 1.2.2-SNAPSHOT

Note: Tags must match the regex ^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$ to trigger a release build.
