./script/trigger-release (#10589)
Add `./script/trigger-release {nightly|stable|preview}` This command can be run regardless of the state of your local git repository, and it either triggers a workflow run of `bump_patch_version.yml` (for stable/preview) or it force pushes the nightly tag. Also add some docs on releases to explain all of this. Release Notes: - N/A

# Zed Releases
|
||||
|
||||
Zed currently maintains two public releases for macOS:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Stable](https://zed.dev/download). This is the primary version that people download and use.
|
||||
- [Preview](https://zed.dev/releases/preview), which receives updates a week ahead of stable for early adopters.
|
||||
|
||||
Typically we cut a new minor release every Wednesday. The current Preview becomes Stable, and the new Preview contains everything on main up until that point.
|
||||
|
||||
If bugs are found and fixed during the week, they may be cherry-picked into the release branches and so new patch versions for preview and stable can become available throughout the week.
|
||||
|
||||
## Wednesday release process
|
||||
|
||||
You will need write access to the Zed repository to do this:
|
||||
|
||||
- Checkout `main` and ensure your working copy is clean.
|
||||
- Run `./script/bump-zed-minor-versions` and push the tags
|
||||
and branches as instructed.
|
||||
- Wait for the builds to appear at https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/releases (typically takes around 30 minutes)
|
||||
- Copy the release notes from the previous Preview release(s) to the current Stable release.
|
||||
- Write new release notes for Preview. `/script/get-preview-channel-changes` can help with this, but you'll need to edit and format the output to make it good.
|
||||
- Download the artifacts for each release and test that you can run them locally.
|
||||
- Publish the releases.
|
||||
|
||||
## Patch release process
|
||||
|
||||
If your PR fixes a panic or a crash, you should cherry-pick it to the current stable and preview branches. If your PR fixes a regression in recently released code, you should cherry-pick it to the appropriate branch.
|
||||
|
||||
You will need write access to the Zed repository to do this:
|
||||
|
||||
- Cherry pick them onto the correct branch. You can either do this manually, or leave a comment of the form `/cherry-pick v0.XXX.x` on the PR, and the GitHub bot should do it for you.
|
||||
- Run `./script/trigger-release {preview|stable}`
|
||||
- Wait for the builds to appear at https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/releases (typically takes around 30 minutes)
|
||||
- Add release notes using the `Release notes:` section of each cherry-picked PR.
|
||||
- Download the artifacts for each release and test that you can run them locally.
|
||||
- Publish the release.
|
||||
|
||||
## Nightly release process
|
||||
|
||||
- Merge your changes to main
|
||||
- Run `./script/trigger-release {nightly}`
