This document contains the static website sources for gopass and instructions for contributors on how to create new releases.

Releasing gopass

Overview

• Preparation (install goreleaser, clone repos)
• Update CHANGELOG.md/VERSION
• Commit/Tag - DO NOT PUSH YET
• Test build (goreleaser --skip-publish)
• Push git changes
• Final build (goreleaser)
• Update and deploy website

Preparation (only once)

# Install our modified version of goreleaser
go get -u github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser
git remote add gopass git@github.com:gopasspw/goreleaser.git
git fetch gopass
git checkout gopass
git pull gopass gopass
go install

Releasing a major/minor release (i.e. increasing X or Y in X.Y.Z)

This is the regular release process. We develop new feature and fixes in feature branches (usually called feature/some-fancy-feature for features or fix/issue-XYZ where XYZ matches the number of an existing issue) IN YOUR OWN FORK OF THE REPO. Please DO NOT push any branches to the main gopass repo except release-X.Y branches.

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/gopasspw/gopass
go build && make tests && make test-integration
# update CHANGELOG.md and VERSION in ONE COMMIT
git commit -am'Tag X.Y.Z+1'
git tag -s v1.X.Y
make completion
goreleaser --skip-publish
git push origin v1.X.Y
GITHUB_TOKEN=XXX goreleaser
# add `--prerelease` for any RC / pre-release
# update gopass website

Afterwards you should update the release description on GitHub to match the current CHANGELOG entry. Go to https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass/releases/tag/v1.X.Y edit it.

Releasing a patch release (i.e. increasing Z in X.Y.Z)

If we need to release a patch release and can't base this upon master because there have been changes which should not be included in the patch release (e.g. new features) we need to summon a new release branch from a past release tag. Then we'd cherry-pick or port the required fixes to this branch and create a release from there.

General rule for cherry-picking:

• Keep the changes small and self contained
• Squashed commits per Feature help very much (one commit per fix/feature)
• Keep the order

git checkout vX.Y.Z
git checkout -b release-X.Y
git cherry-pick ABC
git cherry-pick DEF
git cherry-pick FFF
go build && make tests && make test-integration
# update CHANGELOG.md and VERSION in ONE COMMIT
git commit -am'Tag X.Y.Z+1'
git tag -s vX.Y.Z+1
goreleaser --skip-publish
git push origin vX.Y.Z+1
GITHUB_TOKEN=abc... goreleaser
git push origin release-X.Y
# update gopass website

Afterwards you should update the release description on GitHub to match the current CHANGELOG entry. Go to https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass/releases/tag/v1.X.Y edit it.

Theme Development

• Go to /themes/gopass,
• install dependencies via npm install
• run gulp watch to develop locally (with auto-reload)
• start a server via make dev (hugo serve -b localhost:1313) (in the root dir)
