Create a GitHub release for Alt-Tabby. The user may provide additional context (version bump amount, release note focus area, etc.) — incorporate it into the steps below.
Verify clean state: git status must show a clean working tree. If not, stop and report.
Run full test suite: .\tests\test.ps1 --live. If any tests fail, stop and report. Do not release with failing tests.
Determine version: Read the current VERSION file. If the user specified a version bump (e.g., "+0.1", "bump minor"), apply it. Otherwise ask what the new version should be.
Update VERSION file: Write the new version string to VERSION.
Compile: Run .\compile.bat. Verify release/AltTabby.exe was produced.
Build release notes:
git log --oneline vOLD..HEAD (where vOLD is the previous version tag) to get the commit history since last release.https://github.com/cwilliams5/Alt-Tabby/compare/vOLD...vNEWCommit version bump: Commit the VERSION file change with message Bump version to vX.Y.Z.
Create tag: git tag vX.Y.Z
Push: git push origin main --tags
Create GitHub release:
gh release create vX.Y.Z release/AltTabby.exe --title "vX.Y.Z" --notes "RELEASE_NOTES_HERE"
