Create New Release

Create and push a new semantic version release tag.

Steps

1. Ask release type: Use AskUserQuestion to ask if this is a patch, minor, or major release.

2. Fetch latest tags from remote:

   git fetch --tags origin
   

3. Get the latest semver tag (assumes v prefix like v1.2.3):

   git tag --sort=-version:refname -l 'v*' | head -1
   

4. Parse and bump version based on user selection:

   • patch: v1.2.3 → v1.2.4
   • minor: v1.2.3 → v1.3.0
   • major: v1.2.3 → v2.0.0

5. Verify META.json version matches the new tag: Read META.json and check that both version and provides.pg_stat_ch.version match the new version (without the v prefix). If they don't match, abort and tell the user to update META.json first — PGXN uses this file for the release version.

6. Validate current commit exists on remote:

   git fetch origin
   git branch -r --contains HEAD
   

   If no remote branch contains HEAD, abort with an error asking the user to push their commits first.

7. Create and push the tag:

   git tag -a <new_version> -m "Release <new_version>"
   git push origin <new_version>
   

8. Report success with the new tag name.

Version Parsing

Parse version from tag like v1.2.3:

• Extract numbers after v prefix
• Split by . to get major, minor, patch components
• Handle edge case: if no tags exist, start at v0.1.0

Error Handling

• If current commit is not on remote: "Current commit is not pushed to remote. Please push your changes first."
• If tag already exists: "Tag already exists. Please check existing tags."
• If git operations fail: Report the specific error.
