# Releasing and publishing the SDK
While the release process can be handled manually, `cargo-release` has been
configured to make it more convenient.
By default, [`cargo-release`](https://github.com/crate-ci/cargo-release) assumes
that no pull request is required to cut a release. However, since the SDK
repo is set up so that each push requires a pull request, we need to slightly
deviate from the default workflow. A `cargo-xtask` has been created to make the
process as smooth as possible.
The procedure is as follows:
1. Switch to a release branch:
```bash
git switch -c release-x.y.z
```
2. Prepare the release. This will update the `README.md`, set the versions in
the `CHANGELOG.md` file, and bump the version in the `Cargo.toml` file.
```bash
cargo xtask release prepare --execute minor|patch|rc
```
3. Double-check and edit the `CHANGELOG.md` and `README.md` if necessary. Once you are
satisfied, push the branch and open a PR.
```bash
git push --set-upstream origin/release-x.y.z
```
4. Pass the review and merge the branch as you would with any other branch.
5. Create tags for your new release, publish the release on crates.io and push
the tags:
```bash
# Switch to main first.
git switch main
# Pull in the now-merged release commit(s).
git pull
# Create tags, publish the release on crates.io, and push the tags.
cargo xtask release publish --execute
```
