# How to Release
1. In changelog.md, rename the "unreleased" section to "Month 20YY Release", and copy the unreleased section in the comment to replace the renamed one.
1. Create a release branch off master in the format `release_YYMMDD`, for example `release_230410` for a release in 10 April 2023. Run `git checkout -b release_YYMMDD`
1. Create a tag on that branch in the format `release_YYMMDD_nn` where `nn` is a sequence number (so we can release a patch off the same branch later and they sort correctly). Run `git tag release_YYMMDD_nn`
1. Push the branch and tags
