Pure Deployment Checklist

These are the steps formally used to publish a new version of Pure.

For all of these steps, replace 1.0.0 with the correct version!

Prerequisite

This assumes the following repo's are cloned and npm installed:

First, check everything

  • Update local Pure to latest from pure-css/pure#master

    $ cd pure/
    $ git pull upstream master
    
  • Build Pure via grunt

    $ grunt
    
  • Review all src/.../tests/manual/ files in target environments, including:

    • Edge
    • Chrome
    • Firefox
    • Safari
  • Review pure-site in target environments with Pure served locally

    • Edge
    • Chrome
    • Firefox
    • Safari
  • Review HISTORY.md

    https://github.com/pure-css/pure/blob/master/HISTORY.md

    Make sure all the major changes since the last release of Pure are reflected in HISTORY.md entries.

Prepare repos for release

Pure repo

  • Bump versions

    It should have already been determined whether this is a minor or patch version release. Update Pure's version number to the new version in the following places. You'll likely be dropping a "-pre" suffix which was in place during the last development cycle. Do not use a "v" in the version (e.g., 1.0.0):

    • package.json
    • HISTORY.md (Update "NEXT")
  • Build Pure release files via grunt release

    Using Grunt, create the release/[version]/pure-[version].tar.gz file:

    $ grunt release
    

    Note: If the build fails it's for a good reason, most likely because there's code which is not passing CSSLint. We should always fix these issues and never force a release.

Publish pure to NPM

From the pure repo run the following command to publish Pure to NPM. This will ensure jsdelivr.com CDN gets the new files.

npm publish .

Verify via https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/purecss

Draft releases on Github

  • Draft a new release on GitHub for all three repos, using "v" in the version number (e.g., v1.0.0). Drafts are invisible to the public. Once these are published, the repos will be visible, and they will be tagged. Don't publish them just yet.

    • pure

Formally publish Pure

Now all our files are out there and everything is looking good.

  • Publish pure

    From the pure repo, publish the release. This will tag the repo and signal to the public that the new Pure release is complete.

Spread the word

  • Write blog post
  • Tweet

Mark repo as pre-release

  • We should mark the version number of the project (in package.json) as 0.6.1-pre for clarity, so there's no mistaking the leading edge of the project from the last release. Commit those changes and push to master.
