Find which Dart/Flutter releases contain a specific commit sha.
# Instructions Use this skill to determine which releases a specific commit SHA (Dart or Flutter) first appeared in. This is useful for identifying the earliest SDK version that includes a given feature, fix, or change. ## Tool Usage Run the `tools/find_release.dart` script from the root of the SDK (`../../../` relative to this file) to discover the releases for a given commit SHA. ```bash dart tools/find_release.dart --commit=<sha> --channel=<channel> ``` ### Arguments 1. `--commit=<sha>` (required): The SHA of the commit. 2. `--channel=<dev|beta|stable>` (required): The channel to search in. ### Example To find which releases contain commit `abcdef123...` on the `stable` channel: ```bash dart tools/find_release.dart --commit=abcdef123... --channel=stable ``` The output will include: - Whether the commit was found in the Dart or Flutter repository. - The lowest (earliest) git release tag containing that commit. - The corresponding official Flutter release (if found). - The corresponding official Dart SDK release (if found). ## Important Considerations - **Git Tags vs. Official Releases**: The tool first identifies the lowest git tag that includes the commit. However, the presence of a tag (especially a `-dev` tag) **does not guarantee that an official SDK release has being published for that version.** - **Verification**: You should look for the "Lowest Dart release" or "Lowest Flutter release" in the tool's output to confirm that the commit has actually reached a released state. If the tool reports "No Dart releases found that were newer than <tag>", then the commit has not yet reached any official released version on that channel. - **Reporting**: When communicating the findings, distinguish clearly between the git tag it first appeared in and the earliest official release (if any).
