# Release Process
Release process is handled by `release`, `dist` and `promote` xtasks, `release` being the main one.
`release` assumes that you have checkouts of `rust-analyzer`, `rust-ananalyzer.github.io`, and `rust-lang/rust` in the same directory:
```
./rust-analyzer
./rust-analyzer.github.io
./rust-rust-analyzer # Note the name!
```
Additionally, it assumes that remote for `rust-analyzer` is called `upstream` (I use `origin` to point to my fork).
Release steps:
1. Inside rust-analyzer, run `cargo xtask release`. This will:
* checkout the `release` branch
* reset it to `upstream/nightly`
* push it to `upstream`. This triggers GitHub Actions which:
** runs `cargo xtask dist` to package binaries and VS Code extension
** makes a GitHub release
** pushes VS Code extension to the marketplace
* create new changelog in `rust-analyzer.github.io`
* create `rust-analyzer.github.io/git.log` file with the log of merge commits since last release
2. While the release is in progress, fill-in the changelog using `git.log`
3. Commit & push the changelog
4. Tweet
5. Inside `rust-analyzer`, run `cargo xtask promote` -- this will create a PR to rust-lang/rust updating rust-analyzer's submodule.
Self-approve the PR.
