# Publishing Guide
|
|
|
|
When publishing a new version of MetaMask, we follow this procedure:
|
|
|
|
## Preparation
|
|
|
|
We try to ensure certain criteria are met before deploying:
|
|
|
|
- Deploy early in the week, to give time for emergency responses to unforeseen bugs.
|
|
- Deploy early in the day, for the same reason.
|
|
- Make sure at least one member of the support team is "on duty" to watch for new user issues coming through the support system.
|
|
- Roll out incrementally when possible, to a small number of users first, and gradually to more users.
|
|
|
|
## Incrementing Version & Changelog
|
|
|
|
Version can be automatically incremented [using our bump script](./bumping-version.md).
|
|
|
|
npm run version:bump $BUMP_TYPE` where `$BUMP_TYPE` is one of `major`, `minor`, or `patch`.
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
While we develop on the main `develop` branch, our production version is maintained on the `master` branch.
|
|
|
|
With each pull request, the @MetaMaskBot will comment with a build of that new pull request, so after bumping the version on `develop`, open a pull request against `master`, and once the pull request is reviewed and merged, you can download those builds for publication.
|
|
