Release process

This document outlines how to create a release of thriftrw-go

git checkout master
git pull
git merge <branch> where <branch> is the branch we want to cut the release on (most likely dev)
Alter CHANGELOG.md from [Unreleased] to [X.Y.Z] - YYY-MM-DD and add a reference at the bottom of the document in the form of: [X.Y.Z]: https://github.com/thriftrw/thriftrw-go/compare/vU.V.W...vX.Y.Z, where X.Y.Z is the version to release and U.V.W is the prior.
Alter version/version.go to have the same version as version_to_release
Run make verifyversion
Create a commit with the title Prepare for release <version_to_release>
Create a git tag for the version using git tag -a v<version_to_release> -m v<version_to_release (e.g., git tag -a v1.0.0 -m v1.0.0)
Push the tag to origin git push --tags origin v<version_to_release>
git push origin master
Go to https://github.com/thriftrw/thriftrw-go/tags and edit the release notes of the new tag (copy the changelog into the release notes and make the release name the version number)
git checkout dev
git merge master
Update CHANGELOG.md and version/version.go to have a new [Unreleased] (- No changes yet) block, run make generate, and put into a commit with title Back to development
Run make verifyversion
git push origin dev
