Tags & Releases

To deploy a new release for a particular sample code or tool (e.g. Windows Voice Assistant Client) do the following:

• Find the most recent successful Azure DevOps build of this repo (MS-internal link)
• Download and unzip the relevant artifact to you local machine (e.g. WindowsVoiceAssistantClient-YYYYMMDD.#.zip for the Windows Voice Assistant Client)
• Note the build number YYYYMMDD.#
• Test it thoroughly
• Check out the Main branch in your local repo, and make sure it's up to date (git pull)
• Create a new tag named after the build number, with a message that identifies the sample code. For example:
  • git tag -a 20200410.9 -m "Windows Voice Assistant Client"
• List tags to make sure it was created:
  • git tag -l
• Push the tag to the remote master branch:
  • git push origin 20200410.9
• Open the Tags tab on the GitHub repo website
• You should see the new tag there. Click on the "..." on the right and select "Create release"
• Fill in the title. It should be the name of the sample code / tool, followed by the version number (e.g. "Windows Voice Assistant Client 1.17"
• Attach the artifact binary (e.g. WindowsVoiceAssistantClient-YYYYMMDD.#.zip)
• Leave the box "This is a pre-release" unchecked
• Press "Publish release". Done!
