Summary
This PR introduces automation that will automatically create/update a
shipped/v{major}.{minor}
branch each time a release is made. The HEAD of these branches will be the latest shipped commit for that major/minor version. (e.g.shipped/v7.0
).The purpose of these branches is to give us an easier mechanism for Component Governance (CG) to identify if a shipping version contains any potential CVEs in its dependencies and notify us accordingly. This will also require an additional small pipeline to register these branches (
shipped/*
) with CG but that can be done in a separate PR.Release Notes Entry
