How to create a SCEM release

Note: All these steps can be done through Visual Studio 2019 Git Flow tab but I am documenting how they can be done through command line.

1. Clone the repository of the solution that needs to be released to Prod. For example, OPP:

git clone https://transport-canada@dev.azure.com/transport-canada/Dynamics/_git/oppses

2. Checkout the master branch:

git checkout master

3. Create a release branch with the correct release version

git checkout -b release/<0.103.0> <-- Add correct release version number

4. Merge changes from develop branch to newly created release branch:

git merge develop

5. Merge release branch to master branch:

At this point, the release pipelines will be automatically triggered to deploy the solution into Prod.

5. Wait and see if the release pipeline succeeds:

• https://dev.azure.com/transport-canada/Dynamics/_release?_a=releases&view=all&definitionId=8

6. Repeat above steps for all solutions that must be released.
