Managing releases using Git tags and semantic versioning: DrupalCon Portland 2022

In this talk, Mike Miles addresses the importance of establishing a repeatable and easily trackable process for releasing code into a production environment. He explains how utilizing Git tags can help teams clearly identify and annotate releases, allowing for better communication regarding changes, their significance, and the contributors involved. Miles covers the structure of semantic versioning, demonstrating how it distinguishes between major, minor, and patch updates, such as v1.0.1, v1.1.0, and v2.0.0. Attendees will gain insights into marking Git tags with semantic versions, using simple bash scripts for generating version releases, and employing Git commands to produce release notes effectively.
