This covers making a new github release in the git2cpp repository, and propagating that release through to Emscripten-forge so that the new WebAssembly package is available in the Jupyterlite terminal.

1. Submit and merge a git2cpp PR bumping the version number in version.hpp.

2. Fetch the latest changes to your local git2cpp repo.

3. Tag the new release using something like git tag -a 0.0.2 -m "Version 0.0.2". Ideally sign the release by adding the -s flag.

4. Push the new tag to the github repo using git push upstream --tags.

5. Create a github release for the tag. In https://github.com/QuantStack/git2cpp:

   • Click on Releases.
   • Click on Draft a new release.
   • Select the new tag in the Choose a tag dropdown.
   • Click on Generate release notes. This will fill out the release notes based on the PRs merged since the last release.
   • Edit the release notes if desired.
   • Click on Publish release.

The Emscripten-forge recipe at https://github.com/emscripten-forge/recipes needs to be updated with the new version number and SHA checksum. An Emscripten-forge bot runs once a day and will identify the new github release and create a PR to update the recipe. Wait for this to happen, and if the tests pass and no further changes are required, the PR can be approved and merged.

After the PR is merged to main, the recipe will be rebuilt and uploaded to https://prefix.dev/channels/emscripten-forge-4x/packages/git2cpp, which should only take a few minutes.

Any subsequent cockle or JupyterLite terminal deployments that are rebuilt will download and use the latest git2cpp WebAssembly package.
