Create a signed tag (tags/v) on the "master" branch (for major releases) or the "support" branch (for minor releases).

Push the tag.

$ git push --tags

For major releases: Create a new "support" branch:

$ git checkout master
$ git checkout -b support/2.6
$ git push -u origin support/2.6

For minor releases: Push the support branch, cherry-pick the release commit into master and merge the support branch:

$ git push -u origin support/2.6
$ git checkout master
$ git cherry-pick support/2.6
$ git merge --strategy=ours support/2.6
$ git push origin master
