How to create a new release for Kitsu

We release Kitsu versions through Github. Every time a new version is ready, we follow this process:

1. Rebase sources on the master branch.
2. Up the version number through the npm CLI.
3. Push changes to master branch.
4. Run the Vue.js build.
5. Keep the build somewhere.
6. Switch to the build branch.
7. Replace the dist directory with the new one.
8. Tag the commit and push the changes to Github.

You can run the following script to perform these commands at once:

release_number=0.11.32
git pull --rebase origin master
npm version patch
git push origin master --tag
npm i
npm run build
mv dist ..
git checkout build
git pull --rebase origin build
rm -rf dist
mv ../dist .
git add dist
git commit -m "New release ($release_number)"
git tag $release_number-build
git push origin build --tag
git checkout master

Deployment
