Run
go get golang.org/x/review/git-codereview && go install golang.org/x/review/git-codereview
to install the code reviewing tool.-
Ensure it's working by running

if not). -
If you would like, you may want to set up aliases for
git-codereview
, such thatgit codereview change
becomesgit change
. See the godoc for details.- Should you run into issues with the
git-codereview
tool, please note that all error messages will assume that you have set up these aliases.

Change to a directory of your choosing and clone the repo.
cd ~/code git clone https://code.googlesource.com/gocloud
-
If you have already checked out the source, make sure that the remote
git
origin
is https://code.googlesource.com/gocloud:git remote -v # ... git remote set-url origin https://code.googlesource.com/gocloud
-
The project uses Go Modules for dependency management See
gopls
for making your editor work with modules.

Change to the project directory and add the github remote:
cd ~/code/gocloud git remote add github https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go

Make sure your
git
auth is configured correctly by visiting https://code.googlesource.com, clicking "Generate Password" at the top-right, and following the directions. Otherwise,git codereview mail
in the next step will fail.
Which module to release?
The Go client libraries have several modules. Each module does not strictly correspond to a single library - they correspond to trees of directories. If a file needs to be released, you must release the closest ancestor module.
To see all modules:
$ cat `find . -name go.mod` | grep module
module cloud.google.com/go
module cloud.google.com/go/bigtable
module cloud.google.com/go/firestore
module cloud.google.com/go/bigquery
module cloud.google.com/go/storage
module cloud.google.com/go/datastore
module cloud.google.com/go/pubsub
module cloud.google.com/go/spanner
module cloud.google.com/go/logging
The cloud.google.com/go
is the repository root module. Each other module is
a submodule.
So, if you need to release a change in bigtable/bttest/inmem.go
, the closest
ancestor module is cloud.google.com/go/bigtable
- so you should release a new
version of the cloud.google.com/go/bigtable
submodule.
If you need to release a change in asset/apiv1/asset_client.go
, the closest
ancestor module is cloud.google.com/go
- so you should release a new version
of the cloud.google.com/go
repository root module. Note: releasing
cloud.google.com/go
has no impact on any of the submodules, and vice-versa.
They are released entirely independently.
How to release cloud.google.com/go
- Navigate to
~/code/gocloud/
and switch to master. git pull
- Run
git tag -l | grep -v beta | grep -v alpha
to see all existing releases. The current latest tag$CV
is the largest tag. It should look something likevX.Y.Z
(note: ignore allLIB/vX.Y.Z
tags - these are tags for a specific library, not the module root). We'll call the current version$CV
and the new version$NV
. - On master, run
git log $CV...
to list all the changes since the last release. NOTE: You must manually visually parse out changes to submodules [1] (thegit log
is going to show you things in submodules, which are not going to be part of your release). - Edit
CHANGES.md
to include a summary of the changes. cd internal/version && go generate && cd -
- Mail the CL:
git add -A && git change <branch name> && git mail
- Wait for the CL to be submitted. Once it's submitted, and without submitting
any other CLs in the meantime:
a. Switch to master.
b.
git pull
c. Tag the repo with the next version:git tag $NV
. d. Push the tag to both remotes:git push origin $NV
git push github $NV
- Update the releases page
with the new release, copying the contents of
CHANGES.md
.
How to release a submodule
We have several submodules, including cloud.google.com/go/logging
,
cloud.google.com/go/datastore
, and so on.
To release a submodule:
(these instructions assume we're releasing cloud.google.com/go/datastore
- adjust accordingly)
- Navigate to
~/code/gocloud/
and switch to master. git pull
- Run
git tag -l | grep datastore | grep -v beta | grep -v alpha
to see all existing releases. The current latest tag$CV
is the largest tag. It should look something likedatastore/vX.Y.Z
. We'll call the current version$CV
and the new version$NV
. - On master, run
git log $CV.. -- datastore/
to list all the changes to the submodule directory since the last release. - Edit
datastore/CHANGES.md
to include a summary of the changes. cd internal/version && go generate && cd -
- Mail the CL:
git add -A && git change <branch name> && git mail
- Wait for the CL to be submitted. Once it's submitted, and without submitting
any other CLs in the meantime:
a. Switch to master.
b.
git pull
c. Tag the repo with the next version:git tag $NV
. d. Push the tag to both remotes:git push origin $NV
git push github $NV
- Update the releases page
with the new release, copying the contents of
datastore/CHANGES.md
.
