# Packaging and deployment ## Packaging This plugin is using the [qgis-plugin-ci](https://github.com/opengisch/qgis-plugin-ci/) tool to perform packaging operations. The package command is performing a `git archive` run based on changelog. ```bash # package a specific version qgis-plugin-ci package 1.3.1 # package latest version qgis-plugin-ci package latest ``` ## Release a version Everything is done through the continuous deployment: 1. Add the new version to the `CHANGELOG.md` 1. Change the version number in `__about__.py` 1. Apply a git tag with the relevant version: `git tag -a 0.3.0 {git commit hash} -m "This version rocks!"` 1. Push tag to main branch: `git push origin 0.3.0`
