+# dbt-utils releases

+## When do we release?
+There's a few scenarios that might prompt a release:
+
+| Scenario                                   | Release type |
+|--------------------------------------------|--------------|
+| New functionality¹                         | minor        |
+| Breaking changes to existing macros        | minor        |
+| Fixes to existing macros                   | patch        |
+| dbt minor release with no breaking changes | patch        |
+| dbt minor release with breaking changes    | minor        |
+
+¹New macros were previously considered patch releases — we have brought them up to minor releases to make versioning for dependencies clearer.
+
+## Branching strategy
+
+At any point, there should be two long-lived branches:
+- `main`: This reflects the most recent release of dbt-utils
+- `dev/0.x.0`: This reflects the next minor release, where `x` will be replaced with the minor version number
+
+The `dev/` branch should be merged into `main` branch when new minor releases are created.
+
+## Process for minor releases
+e.g. for releasing `0.6.0`
+1. Create the PR to merge `dev/0.6.0` into `main`. Also update the `Changelog` as part of this PR, and merge it
+2. Create the GitHub release
+3. Delete the `dev/0.6.0` branch, and create a new branch `dev/0.7.0` from `main`, setting it as the default branch in GitHub.
+4. [Create a new issue](https://github.com/fishtown-analytics/dbt-utils/issues/new/choose) from the "dbt-utils Minor Release Follow-Up" template to also update any dependencies
+
+## Process for patch releases
+1. Create the release
+2. Then rebase the current `dev/` branch on top of the `main` branch so that any fixes will be included in the next minor release
+
+No dependencies need to be updated for minor releases.
