# Mithril Release Processes
## Releasing a new Mithril version
### Prepare the release
1. Ensure your local branch is up to date
```bash
$ git co next
$ git pull --rebase lhorie next
```
2. Determine patch level of the change
3. Update information in `docs/change-log.md` to match reality of the new version being prepared for release
4. Commit changes to `next`
```
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Preparing for release"
# Push to your branch
$ git push
# Push to lhorie/mithril.js
$ git push lhorie next
```
### Merge from `next` to `master`
5. Switch to `master` and make sure it's up to date
```bash
$ git co master
$ git pull --rebase lhorie master
```
6. merge `next` on top of it
```bash
$ git merge next
```
7. Clean & update npm dependencies and ensure the tests are passing.
```bash
$ npm prune
$ npm i
$ npm test
```
### Publish the release
8. `npm run release <major|minor|patch|semver>`, see the docs for [`npm version`](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/version)
9. The changes will be automatically pushed to your fork
10. Push the changes to `lhorie/mithril.js`
```bash
$ git push lhorie master
```
11. Travis will push the new release to npm & create a GitHub release
### Merge `master` back into `next`
This helps to ensure that the `version` field of `package.json` doesn't get out of date.
12. Switch to `next` and make sure it's up to date
```bash
$ git co next
$ git pull --rebase lhorie next
```
13. Merge `master` back onto `next`
```bash
$ git merge master
```
14. Push the changes to your fork & `lhorie/mithril.js`
```bash
$ git push
$ git push lhorie next
```
### Update the GitHub release
15. The GitHub Release will require a manual description & title to be added. I suggest coming up with a fun title & then copying the `docs/change-log.md` entry for the build.
## Updating mithril.js.org
Fixes to documentation can land whenever, updates to the site are published via Travis.
```bash
# These steps assume that lhorie/mithril.js is a git remote named "lhorie"
# Ensure your next branch is up to date
$ git co next
$ git pull lhorie next
# Splat the docs folder from next onto master
$ git co master
$ git co next -- ./docs
# Manually ensure that no new feature docs were added
$ git push lhorie
```
After the Travis build completes the updated docs should appear on https://mithril.js.org in a few minutes.
