Create Public Release PR

Workflow

1. Create a working branch - create a new branch based off of the public release branch (e.g. release-$ReleaseName).

   • Run pwsh ../shared/Get-ReleaseBranches.ps1 to find the latest release branch.
   • The most recently created branch corresponds to the current release.

2. Collect stage container names - read stage-containers.txt from the internal release branch get the stage container names for each release.

3. Update Dockerfiles to new .NET versions - for each .NET version to be released, run the update-dependencies tool from the root of the dotnet-docker repo:

   dotnet run --project ./eng/update-dependencies/update-dependencies.csproj -- from-staging-pipeline $StageContainerName --azdo-organization "https://dev.azure.com/dnceng" --azdo-project internal --source-branch "main"
   

   • Commit changes separately for each .NET version with this commit message format: Update .NET X.0 to X.0.Y Runtime / X.0.ZZZ SDK. For previews: Update .NET X.0 to X.0 Preview N.

4. Confirm with the user — Let the user review the changes.

5. Submit the PR — Push the branch to origin and submit a PR to main.
