Release processes

GoReleaser (cortextool only)

1. Create a changelog file in changelog/ with the name of the tag e.g. changelog/v0.3.0.md. This will be used as the template for the release page in GitHub.
2. Create a new tag that follows semantic versioning:

$ tag=v0.3.0
$ git tag -s "${tag}" -m "${tag}"
$ git push origin "${tag}"

3. Run $ goreleaser --release-notes=changelogs/v0.3.0.md --rm-dist where the changelog file is the one created as part of step 1.
4. The docker image will be pushed automatically.

Manual (all the other binaries)

1. Manually build and test the new additions

2. Create a new tag based on:
   $ tag=v0.2.1
   $ git tag -s "${tag}" -m "${tag}"
   $ git push origin "${tag}"

3. Create the binaries with build cross, they are in dist/

4. Create the GitHub release, copy the release notes from the previous ones, and adjust as necessary. Upload the binaries created and click publish on the release.

5. The last step is creating and uploading the docker images. Use make image to create them and then tag them. Keep in mind that there is only 1 image for cortextool in Dockerhub at the moment.

6. Make sure to update the latest tag to the most recent version.
