Releasing bug fixes from a branch
---------------------------------
If it's necessary to publish a bug fix release without shipping new features that have landed on ``main`` a release branch can be used.
Create it from the relevant last tagged release like so::
git branch 0.52.x 0.52.4
git checkout 0.52.x
Next cherry-pick the commits containing the bug fixes::
git cherry-pick COMMIT
Write the release notes in the branch, and update the version number in ``version.py``. Then push the branch::
git push -u origin 0.52.x
Once the tests have completed, publish the release from that branch target using the GitHub `Draft a new release <https://github.com/simonw/datasette/releases/new>`__ form.
Finally, cherry-pick the commit with the release notes and version number bump across to ``main``::
git checkout main
git cherry-pick COMMIT
git push
