# Gradle GitHub Actions release process
## Preparation
- Push any outstanding changes to branch main. For any change that impacts the released action, you must run npm via `./build all` and commit the various files generated into the dist directory.
- Push any outstanding changes to branch main.
- Check that https://github.com/gradle/actions/actions is green for all workflows for the main branch.
- This should include any workflows triggered by `[bot] Update dist directory`
- Decide on the version number to use for the release. The action releases should follow semantic versioning.
- By default, a patch release is assumed (eg. `3.0.0``3.0.1`)
- If new features have been added, bump the minor version (eg `3.1.1``3.2.0`)
