Git Tag

Commit these changes to the "master" branch:

git cherry-pick master

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

git tag -u EE8E0720 -m "Version $VERSION" v$VERSION

git tag -u D14A1F16 -m "Version $VERSION" v$VERSION

NH:

git tag -u 630F89D9 -m "Version $VERSION" v$VERSION

Push the tag:

git push --tags

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

git checkout master
git checkout -b support/2.7
git push -u origin support/2.7

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

git push -u origin support/2.7
git checkout master
git cherry-pick support/2.7
git merge --strategy=ours support/2.7
git push origin master
