• Tag and branch repositories (order is important)

• Update .gitreview, set defaultbranch=voltha-2.12-beta for commits

• Update VERSION file to prevent future conflicts.

Release branching and tagging

Releasing repository voltha-lib-go requires tag-then-release branching, first create a versioned tag 2.12.0-beta then create branch voltha-2.12-beta from the release tag.

Repository tag names differ based on repository, golang repositories use tags with the prefix vee v1.2.3, v2.45.0

First create a release tag

# Determine repository tagname convention (with/with-out vee)
git clone "ssh://gerrit.opencord.org:29418/${repo_name}.git"
git tag --list-tags

# ---------------------------
# Step 1 create a release tag
# ---------------------------
local branch_name='voltha-2.12-beta'
local tag_name='v2.12.0-beta'

git tag -a "$tag_name" -m "${branch_name} release"
git push origin "$tag_name"

Create a release branch attached to the release tag

# ------------------------------------------------------------
# Step 2 - create a release branch attached to the release tag
# ------------------------------------------------------------
local branch_name='voltha-2.12-beta'
local tag_name='v2.12.0-beta'
local repo_name='voltha-lib-go'

git clone "ssh://gerrit.opencord.org:29418/${repo_name}.git"
git fetch --all --tags

git checkout -b "$branch_name" "tags/tag_name"
git push origin "$branch_name" "tags/$tag_name"
