name	update-release
description	This skill should be used when the user asks to "update the beta release", "update the stable release", "bump dev-proxy", "bump dev-proxy-beta", "update formula", "get latest release", "get latest pre-release", or needs to update the Homebrew formula with a new Dev Proxy version.

Update Dev Proxy Homebrew Formula

Update the Homebrew formula with a new Dev Proxy release from the GitHub repository.

Determine Release Type

Based on the user's request, determine which formula to update:

User mentions	Formula file	Release type
beta, pre-release	Formula/dev-proxy-beta.rb	Pre-release (e.g., vX.Y.Z-beta.N)
stable, latest, (unspecified)	Formula/dev-proxy.rb	Latest stable (e.g., vX.Y.Z)

Workflow

Step 1: Check Current Version

Read the appropriate formula file to identify the current proxyVersion value.

Step 2: Find Target Release

Fetch the GitHub releases page:

https://github.com/dotnet/dev-proxy/releases

• Beta: Find the most recent release marked "Pre-release"
• Stable: Find the most recent release marked "Latest" (not pre-release)

Step 3: Calculate SHA256 Checksums

Download each platform's zip file and calculate the SHA256 checksum.

macOS (osx-x64):

curl -sL "https://github.com/dotnet/dev-proxy/releases/download/v{VERSION}/dev-proxy-osx-x64-v{VERSION}.zip" | shasum -a 256

Linux (linux-x64):

curl -sL "https://github.com/dotnet/dev-proxy/releases/download/v{VERSION}/dev-proxy-linux-x64-v{VERSION}.zip" | shasum -a 256

Replace {VERSION} with the version number (e.g., 2.1.0-beta.4 or 2.0.0).

Step 4: Update the Formula

Update the formula file with:

1. New proxyVersion value (without the v prefix)
2. New proxySha for Linux
3. New proxySha for macOS

Formula structure (both files follow the same pattern):

class DevProxy < Formula  # or DevProxyBeta
  proxyVersion = "{VERSION}"
  if OS.linux?
    proxyArch = "linux-x64"
    proxySha = "{LINUX_SHA256}"
  else
    proxyArch = "osx-x64"
    proxySha = "{OSX_SHA256}"
  end
  # ... rest of formula
end

Key Differences Between Formulas

Aspect	Stable	Beta
File	Formula/dev-proxy.rb	Formula/dev-proxy-beta.rb
Class	DevProxy	DevProxyBeta
Binary	devproxy	devproxy-beta
Livecheck	strategy :github_latest	regex(/^v(.*)$/i)

Important Notes

• The version in the formula should NOT include the v prefix
• Each platform has a different SHA256 checksum
• Run the SHA256 commands sequentially (not in parallel) to avoid terminal conflicts
• The download URL includes the v prefix in the tag name
