+# Release Process
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Throughout this document are references to the version number as `MAJOR.MINOR.[$patch_number]`, this should be replaced with the correct version number. Do **not** prefix the version with a lowercase `v`.
+
+## 1. Open the release issue and cut a release branch. (do this ~1 week prior to release)
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The new release branch should adhere to the naming convention of `MAJOR.MINOR.x` (make sure to put the `.x` at the end!). In the case of patch/hotfix releases, however, do NOT cut a new release branch; instead, use the previously-cut release branch with the appropriate `MAJOR.MINOR.x` version numbers.
+
+Use the issue template below to create the release issue. After creating the release issue, pin it for easy access.

+
+## 2. Alert various parties of the upcoming release. (do this ~1 week prior to release)
+
+Let various interested parties know about the upcoming release; at minimum, conda-forge maintainers should be informed. For major features, a blog post describing the new features should be prepared and posted once the release is completed (see the announcements section of the release issue).
+
+## 3. Manually test canary build(s).
+
+### Canary Builds for Manual Testing
+
+Once the release PRs are filed, successful canary builds will be available on `https://anaconda.org/conda-canary/conda/files?channel=rc-constructor-MAJOR.MINOR.x` for manual testing.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> You do not need to apply the `build::review` label for release PRs; every commit to the release branch builds and uploads canary builds to the respective `rc-` label.
+
+## 4. Ensure `rever.xsh` and `news/TEMPLATE` are up to date.
+
+These are synced from [`conda/infrastructure`][infrastructure].
+
+
+5. Run rever. (ideally done on the Monday of release week)
+
+Currently, there are only 2 activities we use rever for, (1) aggregating the authors and (2) updating the changelog. Aggregating the authors can be an error-prone process and also suffers from builtin race conditions (_i.e._, to generate an updated `.authors.yml` we need an updated `.mailmap` but to have an updated `.mailmap` we need an updated `.authors.yml`). This is why the following steps are very heavy-handed (and potentially repetitive) in running rever commands, undoing commits, squashing/reordering commits, etc.
+
+1. Install [`rever`][rever docs] and activate the environment:
+
+ ```bash
+ $ conda create -n rever conda-forge::rever
+ $ conda activate rever
+ (rever) $
+ ```
+
+2. Clone and `cd` into the repository if you haven't done so already:
+
+ ```bash
+ (rever) $ git clone git@github.com:/constructor.git
+ (rever) $ cd conda
+ ```
+
+2. Fetch the latest changes from the remote and checkout the release branch created a week ago:
+
+ ```bash
+ (rever) $ git fetch upstream
+ (rever) $ git checkout MAJOR.MINOR.x
+ ```
+
+2. Create a versioned branch, this is where rever will make its changes:
+
+ ```bash
+ (rever) $ git checkout -b changelog-MAJOR.MINOR.[$patch_number]
+ ```
+
+2. Run `rever --activities authors `:
+
+ > **Note:**
+ > Include `--force` when re-running any rever commands for the same ``, otherwise, rever will skip the activity and no changes will be made (i.e., rever remembers if an activity has been run for a given version).
+
+ ```bash
+ (rever) $ rever --activities authors --force
+ ```
+
+ - If rever finds that any of the authors are not correctly represented in `.authors.yml` it will produce an error. If the author that the error pertains to is:
+ - **a new contributor**: the snippet suggested by rever should be added to the `.authors.yml` file.
+ - **an existing contributor**, a result of using a new name/email combo: find the existing author in `.authors.yml` and add the new name/email combo to that author's `aliases` and `alterative_emails`.
+
+ - Once you have successfully run `rever --activities authors` with no errors, review the commit made by rever. This commit will contain updates to one or more of the author files (`.authors.yml`, `.mailmap`, and `AUTHORS.md`). Due to the race condition between `.authors.yml` and `.mailmap`, we want to extract changes made to any of the following keys in `.authors.yml` and commit them separately from the other changes in the rever commit:
+ - `name`
+ - `email`
+ - `github`
+ - `aliases`
+ - `alternate_emails`
+
+ Other keys (e.g., `num_commits` and `first_commit`) do not need to be included in this separate commit as they will be overwritten by rever.
+
+ - Here's a sample run where we undo the commit made by rever in order to commit the changes to `.authors.yml` separately:
+
+ ```bash
+ (rever) $ rever --activities authors --force MAJOR.MINOR.[$patch_number]
+
+ # changes were made to .authors.yml as per the prior bullet
+ (rever) $ git diff --name-only HEAD HEAD~1
+ .authors.yml
+ .mailmap
+ AUTHORS.md
+
+ # undo commit
+ (rever) $ git reset --soft HEAD~1
+
+ # undo changes made to everything except .authors.yml
+ (rever) $ git restore --staged --worktree .mailmap AUTHORS.md
+ ```
+
+ - Commit these changes to `.authors.yml`:
+
+ ```bash
+ (rever) $ git add .
+ (rever) $ git commit -m "Update .authors.yml"
+ ```
+
+ - Rerun `rever --activities authors --force ` and finally check that your `.mailmap` is correct by running:
+
+ ```bash
+ git shortlog -se
+ ```
+
+ Compare this list with `AUTHORS.md`. If they have any discrepancies, additional modifications to `.authors.yml` is needed, so repeat the above steps as needed.
+
+ - Once you are pleased with how the author's file looks, we want to undo the rever commit and commit the `.mailmap` changes separately:
+
+ ```bash
+ # undo commit (but preserve changes)
+ (rever) $ git reset --soft HEAD~1
+
+ # undo changes made to everything except .mailmap
+ (rever) $ git restore --staged --worktree .authors.yml AUTHORS.md
+ ```
+
+ - Commit these changes to `.mailmap`:
+
+ ```bash
+ (rever) $ git add .
+ (rever) $ git commit -m "Update .mailmap"
+ ```
+
+ - Continue repeating the above processes until the `.authors.yml` and `.mailmap` are corrected to your liking. After completing this, you will have at most two commits on your release branch:
+
+ ```bash
+ (rever) $ git cherry -v
+ + 86957814cf235879498ed7806029b8ff5f400034 Update .authors.yml
+ + 3ec7491f2f58494a62f1491987d66f499f8113ad Update .mailmap
+ ```
+
+
+4. Review news snippets (ensure they are all using the correct Markdown format, **not** reStructuredText) and add additional snippets for undocumented PRs/changes as necessary.
+
+ > **Note:**
+ > We've found it useful to name news snippets with the following format: `-`.
+ >
+ > We've also found that we like to include the PR #s inline with the text itself, e.g.:
+ >
+ > ```markdown
+ > ## Enhancements
+ >
+ > * Add `win-arm64` as a known platform (subdir). (#11778)
+ > ```
+
+ - You can utilize [GitHub's compare view][compare] to review what changes are to be included in this release. Make sure you compare the current release branch against the previous one (e.g., `24.5.x` would be compared against `24.3.x`)
+
+ - Add a new news snippet for any PRs of importance that are missing.
+
+ - Commit these changes to news snippets:
+
+ ```bash
+ (rever) $ git add .
+ (rever) $ git commit -m "Update news"
+ ```
+
+ - After completing this, you will have at most three commits on your release branch:
+
+ ```bash
+ (rever) $ git cherry -v
+ + 86957814cf235879498ed7806029b8ff5f400034 Update .authors.yml
+ + 3ec7491f2f58494a62f1491987d66f499f8113ad Update .mailmap
+ + 432a9e1b41a3dec8f95a7556632f9a93fdf029fd Update news
+ ```
+
+5. Run `rever --activities changelog`:
+
+ > **Note:**
+ > This has previously been a notoriously fickle step (likely due to incorrect regex patterns in the `rever.xsh` config file and missing `github` keys in `.authors.yml`) so beware of potential hiccups. If this fails, it's highly likely to be an innocent issue.
+
+ ```bash
+ (rever) $ rever --activities changelog --force
+ ```
+
+ - Any necessary modifications to `.authors.yml`, `.mailmap`, or the news snippets themselves should be amended to the previous commits.
+
+ - Once you have successfully run `rever --activities changelog` with no errors simply revert the last commit (see the next step for why):
+
+ ```bash
+ # undo commit (and discard changes)
+ (rever) $ git reset --hard HEAD~1
+ ```
+
+ - After completing this, you will have at most three commits on your release branch:
+
+ ```bash
+ (rever) $ git cherry -v
+ + 86957814cf235879498ed7806029b8ff5f400034 Update .authors.yml
+ + 3ec7491f2f58494a62f1491987d66f499f8113ad Update .mailmap
+ + 432a9e1b41a3dec8f95a7556632f9a93fdf029fd Update news
+ ```
+
+6. Now that we have successfully run the activities separately, we wish to run both together. This will ensure that the contributor list, a side-effect of the authors activity, is included in the changelog activity.
+
+ ```bash
+ (rever) $ rever --force
+ ```
+
+ - After completing this, you will have at most five commits on your release branch:
+
+ ```bash
+ (rever) $ git cherry -v
+ + 86957814cf235879498ed7806029b8ff5f400034 Update .authors.yml
+ + 3ec7491f2f58494a62f1491987d66f499f8113ad Update .mailmap
+ + 432a9e1b41a3dec8f95a7556632f9a93fdf029fd Update news
+ + a5c0db938893d2c12cab12a1f7eb3e646ed80373 Update authorship for MAJOR.MINOR.[$patch_number]
+ + 5e95169d0df4bcdc2da9a6ba4a2561d90e49f75d Update CHANGELOG for MAJOR.MINOR.[$patch_number]
+ ```
+
+7. Since rever does not include stats on first-time contributors, we will need to add this manually.
+
+ - Use [GitHub's auto-generated release notes][new release] to get a list of all new contributors (and their first PR) and manually merge this list with the contributor list in `CHANGELOG.md`. See [GitHub docs][release docs] for how to auto-generate the release notes.
+
+ - Commit these final changes:
+
+ ```bash
+ (rever) $ git add .
+ (rever) $ git commit -m "Add first-time contributions"
+ ```
+
+ - After completing this, you will have at most six commits on your release branch:
+
+ ```bash
+ (rever) $ git cherry -v
+ + 86957814cf235879498ed7806029b8ff5f400034 Update .authors.yml
+ + 3ec7491f2f58494a62f1491987d66f499f8113ad Update .mailmap
+ + 432a9e1b41a3dec8f95a7556632f9a93fdf029fd Update news
+ + a5c0db938893d2c12cab12a1f7eb3e646ed80373 Update authorship for MAJOR.MINOR.[$patch_number]
+ + 5e95169d0df4bcdc2da9a6ba4a2561d90e49f75d Update CHANGELOG for MAJOR.MINOR.[$patch_number]
+ + 93fdf029fd4cf235872c12cab12a1f7e8f95a755 Add first-time contributions
+ ```
+
+8. Push this versioned branch.
+
+ ```bash
+ (rever) $ git push -u upstream changelog-MAJOR.MINOR.[$patch_number]
+ ```
+
+9. Open the Release PR targing the `MAJOR.MINOR.x` branch.
+
+
+ GitHub PR Template
+
+ ```markdown
+ ## Description
+
+ ✂️ snip snip ✂️ the making of a new release.
+
+ Xref #
+ ```
+
+
+
+10. Update release issue to include a link to the release PR.
+
+11. [Create][new release] the release and **SAVE AS A DRAFT** with the following values:
+
+ > **Note:**
+ > Only publish the release after the release PR is merged, until then always **save as draft**.
+
+ | Field | Value |
+ |---|---|
+ | Choose a tag | `MAJOR.MINOR.[$patch_number]` |
+ | Target | `MAJOR.MINOR.x` |
+ | Body | copy/paste blurb from `CHANGELOG.md` |
+
+
+
+## 6. Wait for review and approval of release PR.
+
+## 7. Merge release PR and publish release.
+
+To publish the release, go to the project's release page (e.g., https://github.com/conda/conda/releases) and add the release notes from `CHANGELOG.md` to the draft release you created earlier. Then publish the release.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Release notes can be drafted and saved ahead of time.
+
+## 8. Merge/cherry pick the release branch over to the `main` branch.
+
+
+Internal process
+
+1. From the main "< > Code" page of the repository, select the drop down menu next to the `main` branch button and then select "View all branches" at the very bottom.
+
+2. Find the applicable `MAJOR.MINOR.x` branch and click the "New pull request" button.
+
+3. "Base" should point to `main` while "Compare" should point to `MAJOR.MINOR.x`.
+
+4. Ensure that all of the commits being pulled in look accurate, then select "Create pull request".
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Make sure NOT to push the "Update Branch" button. If there are [merge conflicts][merge conflicts], create a temporary "connector branch" dedicated to fixing merge conflicts separately from the `MAJOR.MINOR.x` and `main` branches.
+
+5. Review and merge the pull request the same as any code change pull request.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The commits from the release branch need to be retained in order to be able to compare individual commits; in other words, a "merge commit" is required when merging the resulting pull request vs. a "squash merge". Protected branches will require permissions to be temporarily relaxed in order to enable this action.
+
+
+
+## 9. Open PRs to bump [Anaconda Recipes][Anaconda Recipes] and [conda-forge][conda-forge] feedstocks to use `MAJOR.MINOR.[$patch_number]`.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Conda-forge's PRs will be auto-created via the `regro-cf-autotick-bot`. Follow the instructions below if any changes need to be made to the recipe that were not automatically added (these instructions are only necessary for anyone who is _not_ a conda-forge feedstock maintainer, since maintainers can push changes directly to the autotick branch):
+> - Create a new branch based off of autotick's branch (autotick's branches usually use the `regro-cf-autotick-bot:XX.YY.[$patch_number]_[short hash]` syntax)
+> - Add any changes via commits to that new branch
+> - Open a new PR and push it against the `main` branch
+>
+> Make sure to include a comment on the original `autotick-bot` PR that a new pull request has been created, in order to avoid duplicating work! `regro-cf-autotick-bot` will close the auto-created PR once the new PR is merged.
+>
+> For more information about this process, please read the ["Pushing to regro-cf-autotick-bot branch" section of the conda-forge documentation](https://conda-forge.org/docs/maintainer/updating_pkgs.html#pushing-to-regro-cf-autotick-bot-branch).
+
+
+## 10. Hand off to Anaconda's packaging team.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This step should NOT be done past Thursday morning EST; please start the process on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday instead in order to avoid any potential debugging sessions over evenings or weekends.
+
+
+Internal process
+
+1. Open packaging request in #package_requests Slack channel, include links to the Release PR and feedstock PRs.
+
+2. Message packaging team/PM to let them know that a release has occurred and that you are the release manager.
+
+
+
+## 11. Continue championing and shepherding.
+
+Remember to make all relevant announcements and continue to update the release issue with the latest details as tasks are completed.
