ci

This directory contains scripts used for code-server's continuous integration infrastructure.

Some of these scripts contain more detailed documentation and options in header comments.

Any file or directory in this subdirectory should be documented here.

• ./ci/lib.sh
  • Contains code duplicated across these scripts.

Publishing a release

1. Run yarn release:prep and type in the new version i.e. 3.8.1
2. GitHub actions will generate the npm-package, release-packages and release-images artifacts.
   1. You do not have to wait for these.
3. Run yarn release:github-draft to create a GitHub draft release from the template with the updated version.
   1. Summarize the major changes in the release notes and link to the relevant issues.
   2. Change the @ to target the version branch. Example: v3.9.0 @ Target: v3.9.0
4. Wait for the artifacts in step 2 to build.
5. Run yarn release:github-assets to download the release-packages artifact.
   • It will upload them to the draft release.
6. Run some basic sanity tests on one of the released packages.
   • Especially make sure the terminal works fine.
7. Publish the release and merge the PR.
   1. CI will automatically grab the artifacts and then:
      1. Publish the NPM package from npm-package.
      2. Publish the Docker Hub image from release-images.
8. Update the AUR package.
   • Instructions on updating the AUR package are at cdr/code-server-aur.
9. Wait for the npm package to be published.
