• Create a new release-x.x.x branch
• Update the version in:
  • setup.cfg (2 entries)
  • scancodeio/__init__.py
  • CHANGELOG.rst (set date)
• Commit and push this branch
• Create a PR and merge once approved
• Tag and push that tag. This will trigger the pypi-release.yml GitHub workflow that takes care of building the dist release files and upload those to pypi:

  VERSION=vx.x.x  # <- Set the new version here
  git tag -a $VERSION -m ""
  git push origin $VERSION
  

• Review the GitHub release created by the workflow at https://github.com/aboutcode-org/scancode.io/releases

cd scancode.io
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install build
python -m build --sdist --wheel --outdir dist/ .

The distribution files will be available in the local dist/ directory.
