Release Process

This guide covers how to release chroma to PyPi

Increase the version number

1. Create a new PR for the release that upgrades the version in code. Name it release/A.B.C In this file update the __ version __.

__version__ = "A.B.C"

2. Add the "release" label to this PR
3. Once the PR is merged, tag your commit SHA with the release version

git tag A.B.C <SHA>

4. You need to then wait for the github action for main for chroma release and chroma client release to go green. Not doing this will result in a race condition.

Perform the release

1. Push your tag to origin to create the release

git push origin A.B.C

2. This will trigger a Github action which performs the release
