# Releasing a new version of Primer CSS 🎉
## Prepare the release (in `primer/css`)
1. Decide which [PRs](https://github.com/primer/css/pulls) should be part of the next release and if it will be a major, minor or patch `<version>`. You may also check the [release tracking project
](https://github.com/primer/css/projects/2#column-4482699) or ask your team members in Slack.
1. Create a new release branch from `master` and name it `release-<version>`.
1. Start merging existing PRs into the release branch. Note: You have to change the base branch from `master` to the `release-<version>` branch before merging.
1. Create a new PR for the `release-<version>` branch. Please use the following template for the PR description, linking to the relevant issues and/or pull requests for each change, removing irrelevant headings and checking off all of the boxes of the ship checklist:

```
1. Update `CHANGELOG.md`
1. Update the `version` field in `package.json` to match the release version. You may also run the `npm version v<version>` command.
1. Wait for your checks to pass, and take note of the version that [primer/publish] lists in your status checks.
**ProTip:** The release candidate version will always be `<version>-rc.<sha>`, where `<version>` comes from the branch name and `<sha>` is the 7-character commit SHA.
## Test the release candidate (in `github/github`):
1. Create a new branch in the `github/github` repo, name it `primer-<version>`.
1. Update the Primer CSS version to the published release candidate with:
```sh
bin/npm install @primer/css@<version>-rc.<sha>
```
Then commit and push the changes to `package.json`, `package-lock.json`, `LICENSE` and `vendor/npm`.
1. If you need to make changes to github/github due to the Primer CSS release, do them in a branch and merge _that_ into your release branch after testing.
1. Add or re-request reviewers and fix any breaking tests.
1. Test on review-lab.
## Publish the release (in `primer/css`)
1. If the release PR got approved and you've done necessary testing, merge it.
After tests run, the docs site will be deployed and `@primer/css` will be published with your changes to the `latest` dist-tag. You can check [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@primer/css?activeTab=versions) to see if [primer/publish] has finished.
1. [Create a new release](https://github.com/primer/primer/releases/new) with tag `v<version>`.
1. Copy the changes from the [CHANGELOG] and paste them into the release notes.
1. Publish 🎉
## Update github.com (in `github/github`):
1. Install the latest published version in the same `primer-<version>` branch created earlier with:
```
bin/npm install @primer/css@<version>
```
Then commit and push the changes to `package.json`, `package-lock.json`, `LICENSE` and `vendor/npm`.
1. Fix any breaking tests.
1. Deploy! :rocket:
