How to make a new release

Steps in making a new release

1. Start a PR from develop to main with following messages

   • List PRs from the previous release until now in a descending order (latest PR first)
   • Specify the PR type (Features, Fixes, Style, or mixes) and associate with corresponding issue
   • Briefly describe the changes but with enough details

2. Merge develop into main by accepting all changes using following commands:

   ​ git checkout main
   ​ git pull
   ​ git merge -Xtheirs develop -m "Human 1.7" (replace 1.7 with the version that should be made)
   ​ git push

3. Run gene essentiality with DepMap, following the instructions in the Human-GEM-guide.

4. Create new release after merging

   • Go to local Human-GEM folder and change to main branch
   • Run increaseHumanGEMVersion function with agreed type (major, minor or patch)
   • Before running, better sync Cobra and Raven to the latest version
   • Modify the numbers of rxns, mets and genes in README.md file
   • Commit the changes with message “chore: new version”
   • Usually eight files are updated in this commit: 5 model files + dependencies.txt, README.md, version.txt
