# Releasing Taskwarrior
To release Taskwarrior, follow this process:
- Create a release PR
- Update version in CMakeLists.txt
- Update Changelog
- get this merged
- On `develop` after that PR merges, create a release tarball:
- `git clone . release-tarball`
- `cd release-tarball/`
- `cmake -S. -Bbuild`
- `make -Cbuild package_source`
- copy build/task-*.tar.gz elsewhere and delete the `release-tarball` dir
- NOTE: older releases had a `test-*.tar.gz` but it's unclear how to generate this
- Update `stable` to the released commit and push upstream
- Tag the commit as vX.Y.Z and push the tag upstream
- Find the tag under https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskwarrior/tags and create a release from it
- Give it a clever title if you can think of one; refer to previous releases
- Include the tarball from earlier
- Add a new item in `content/news` on https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/tw.org
