Release is performed with GitHub Actions workflow release.yml.
It is also used to release Che Parent, if appropriate input parameter releaseParent is set to true.
The release will perform the build of Maven Artifacts, build and push of all nesessary docker images, and bumping up development version.
make-release.sh is the script that can be used for standalone release outside of GitHub Actions. However, ensure that all environment variables are set in place before invoking ./make-release.sh, similarly to how it is outlined in release.yml:
RELEASE_CHE_PARENT - if true, will perform the release of Che Parent as well.
VERSION_CHE_PARENT - if RELEASE_CHE_PARENT is true, here the version of Che Parent must be provided.
REBUILD_FROM_EXISTING_TAGS - if true, release will not create new tag, but instead checkout to existing one. Use this to rerun failed attempts, without having to recreate the tag.
BUILD_AND_PUSH_IMAGES - if true, will build all asociated images in dockerfiles directory. Set false, if this step needs to be skipped.
BUMP_NEXT_VERSION - if true, will increase the development versions in main and bugfix branches. Set false, if this step needs to be skipped
