Packaging and deployment

Packaging

This plugin is using the qgis-plugin-ci tool to perform packaging operations.
Under the hood, the package command is performing a git archive run based on CHANGELOG.md.

Use it like so:

# package a specific version
uvx --with-requirements requirements/packaging.txt qgis-plugin-ci package 1.3.1
# package latest version
uvx --with-requirements requirements/packaging.txt qgis-plugin-ci package latest

Release a version

Through git workflow:

1. Add the new version to the CHANGELOG.md
2. Optionally change the version number in metadata.txt
3. Apply a git tag with the relevant version: git tag -a X.y.z {git commit hash} -m "This version rocks!"
4. Push tag to main branch: git push origin X.y.z
