You are starting a new jmxfetch development cycle. The new SNAPSHOT version is: $ARGUMENTS

Step 1 — Read current state

Read these four files to confirm the current version references before changing them:

1. pom.xml — current <version> tag (~line 8)
2. README.md — jar filename in the "Running" section (~line 184)
3. .github/workflows/test.yml — jar filename in the JDK 7 verification step (~line 65)
4. CHANGELOG.md — the top heading (first # X.Y.Z / ... line)

Step 2 — Update all four files

pom.xml

Replace the current <version> with the new SNAPSHOT:

<version>$ARGUMENTS</version>

README.md

Replace the jar filename in the "Running" section:

jmxfetch-$ARGUMENTS-jar-with-dependencies.jar

.github/workflows/test.yml

Replace the jar filename in the JDK 7 docker run command:

jmxfetch-$ARGUMENTS-jar-with-dependencies.jar

CHANGELOG.md

Add a new placeholder section at the very top (after Changelog\n=========):

# X.Y.Z / TBC

Where X.Y.Z is the version from $ARGUMENTS with -SNAPSHOT stripped.

Step 3 — Commit, push and open PR

Stage and commit all four files:

git add pom.xml README.md .github/workflows/test.yml CHANGELOG.md
git commit -m "chore: Starting dev cycle by returning version to a SNAPSHOT"

Push the branch and open a PR against master:

git push -u origin HEAD
gh pr create \
  --title "chore: Starting dev cycle by returning version to a SNAPSHOT" \
  --body "Bumps version to \`$ARGUMENTS\` and adds \`CHANGELOG.md\` placeholder for the next release."
