Post-release Activities Skill

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when assigned an issue asking you to do the post-release activities. You will be given the branch name for the release. If that information is missing, ask for it and don't proceed with doing anything.

Steps to Follow

Step 1: Find the release version

The branch name only contains the major and minor parts of the version, but not the patch part. To find the full version:

1. Look for eng/Versions.props file in the given branch.
2. Find the value of VersionPrefix.

Step 2: Tagging the branch

Create a tag for the branch using the version you found in Step 1. The tag name should be v{version} (replace {version} with the version you found in Step 1). After creating the tag, push it to the remote repository.
