# Release

Prepare a new release for cmux. This command updates the changelog, bumps the version, creates a PR, monitors CI, and then merges and tags.

## Steps

1. **Determine the new version number**
   - Get the current version from `cmux.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj` (look for `MARKETING_VERSION`)
   - Bump the minor version unless the user specifies otherwise (e.g., 0.12.0 → 0.13.0)

   - **Collect contributors:** For each PR referenced in the commits, get the author:
     ```bash
     gh pr view <N> --repo manaflow-ai/cmux --json author --jq '.author.login'
     ```
   - Also check for linked issue reporters (the person who filed the bug):
     ```bash
     gh issue view <N> --repo manaflow-ai/cmux --json author --jq '.author.login'
     ```
   - Build a deduplicated list of all contributor `@handle`s for the release

4. **Update the changelog**
   - Add a new section at the top of `CHANGELOG.md` with the new version and today's da
