Releasing

You release on GitHub, the way you already do. Nothing is uploaded to the hub.

1. Set the version in plugin.json, following semantic versioning.
2. Push a tag named v followed by the version, such as v1.4.0, on the commit to release.
3. Create a GitHub release from the tag, with release notes. They appear on your plugin page.

Mark the GitHub release as a pre-release exactly when the version has a pre-release part, such as 1.5.0-beta.1. Draft releases are ignored.

Before you release

Run the hub check tool locally or in your CI. It applies the same rules as the hub and prints the same report. The plugin template's CI runs it on every push.

Discovery

The hub looks for new releases every hour. To start sooner, open a Publish now issue in the registry.

Limits

If something fails

The tracking issue says what failed and why. Fix it and release a new version number; a version number is published at most once.
