# Release checklist
|
|
|
|
* Run `build-scripts/create-release.py -R libsdl-org/SDL --ref <branch>` to do
|
|
a dry run creating the release assets. Verify that the archives are correct.
|
|
|
|
* Tag the release, e.g. `git tag release-3.8.0; git push --tags`
|
|
|
|
* Run `build-scripts/create-release.py -R libsdl-org/SDL --ref <release-tag>`
|
|
to have GitHub Actions create release assets. This makes sure the revision
|
|
string baked into the archives is correct.
|
|
|
|
* Create a GitHub release and attach the archives you just generated.
