post_release R Documentation
Perform post-CRAN-release routine tasks
Description
After a CRAN release is accepted, commit and tag the release, bump the
package version to the next patch dev version, prepend a new header to
‘NEWS.md’, push to the remote repository, and create a GitHub release
with the news items of this version.
Usage
post_release()
Details
The repo will be tagged with the version number extracted from the Version
field in ‘DESCRIPTION’. Then .1 is appended to Version in
‘DESCRIPTION’ as the next patch version, and a new header for the next
release version (which is from bumping the last digit of the current version)
is prepended to ‘NEWS.md’. For example, if the current version is
1.2.3 (or 1.2), the next patch version will be 1.2.3.1 (or 1.2.1) and
the next release version will be 1.2.4 (or 1.3).
