Cell Browser Release Process

Setting Up the Environment for the Build

These instructions assume you're running bash.

Change directory into cell browser git hierarchy build directory.

 cd ~/cellBrowser/build 

Make sure you're on the develop branch.

 git checkout develop
 git pull

Update the file buildEnv.sh to change CBVERSION to CBLASTVERSION and CBDATE to CBLASTDATA and add new CBVERSION and CBDATE strings. See the file for examples. Source the file then check it in.

 vi buildEnv.sh
 source buildEnv.sh
 git commit buildEnv.sh

Running the git reports

Run the git reports.

 ./doGitReports.sh

The reports appear here:

  https://genecats.gi.ucsc.edu/CB-git-reports/

Assign code reviews. Repeat reports if reviews result in changes. Move on when code reviews are finished without requested changes.

Tag and Push release

Change directory to build directory and set environment variables (if not already done)

cd ~/cellBrowser/build 
source buildEnv.sh

Merge develop branch with master branch, tag it, and make PIP release.

  ./doPush.sh

Update the ticket with the location of the PIP release.

 https://pypi.org/project/cellbrowser/$CBVERSION

QA reviews

QA installs on cells-test and tests. If all is good, then they push it to the RR. If changes are made to develop, start from the beginning with an incremented version string.
