# Pulp Release Process
* once all PRs for a branch are merged,
* go to branch being released
* check current-dev-release (e.g., 3.16.13.dev)
* go to Actions
* Choose "Release Pipeline"
* Choose "Run Workflow"
* Choose branch (e.g., 3.16)
* Enter a release-tag based on the current dev-tag in that branch
* Example: 3.16.13.dev becomes 3.16.13
* Push the green "Run Workflow" button
* If release-tag is new but not based on current-dev, workflow will complain and fail
* If release-tag is for an existing release (by accident) , won't fail till docs-pub - don't do that :)
