You can create a new release branch and tag it in GitHub without checking out the branch locally using the following steps:
- Go to your repository on GitHub and click on the “Branch” dropdown button.
- Type in the name of your new release branch, for example
release-v2.0.0, in the “Create new branch” field and hit enter. - GitHub will automatically create a new branch for you based on the current state of the main branch.
- Next, go to the file that contains the version number (such as
package.json) and click on the “Edit” button to make changes to the file. - Update the version number to the new version you want to release (e.g. 2.0.0) and click on the “Commit changes” button to save your changes to the new release branch.
- If you’ve made changes in other branches that you want to include in the release, you can use the “Create pull request” button to merge those changes into the new release branch.
- Once you’ve added all the changes you want to include in the new release, click on the “Releases” tab at the top of the repository page.
- Click on the “Draft a new release” button to create a new release.
- Enter the tag name (e.g. v2.0.0) and select the release branch (e.g.
release-v2.0.0) from the dropdown menus. - Add a title and description for your release, and attach any relevant assets such as binaries or documentation.
- Once you’re done, click on the “Publish release” button to create the new release and tag it in GitHub.
- Now, it’s time to merge the release branch into the main branch by you can use the “Create pull request” button to merge release to the master.
That’s it! You’ve successfully created a new release branch and tag in GitHub without checking out the branch locally.
