#4 Create a release of your application
Prerequisites: A completed scenario 3
- On github.com, open Actions in your project and select Create Release. Choose Run workflow. Enter 1.0 as name and tag of the release, and then choose Run workflow.
- When the create release workflow completes, choose the Code section to see the releases.
- Choose the release (1.0) and you will see the release. The release notes are pulled from all pull-requests checked in since the last release. The auto-generated release note also contains a list of the new contributers and a link to the full changelog. Choose the Edit button (the pencil) to modify the release notes. At the bottom, you can see the artifacts published, both the apps and the source code. A tag is created in the repository for the release number to always keep this.
- Under Actions, select the CI/CD workflow and choose Run workflow to kick off a new CI/CD workflow. After the CI/CD workflow finishes, you can inspect the workflow output to see that the latest release was used as a baseline for the upgrade tests in the pipeline. You will also see that the new build, just created was deployed to the QA environment automatically.
