Release Process

This page describes how we use branches and tags when we create an update:

• we use a branch such as release/0.10.2
• then we build VSCode on that branch
• then do cross OS smoke testing
• then if we identify any critical issues we deliver fixes to the branch and repeat from step 2.
• when step 3 yields no additional critical (ship-blockers) issues we're done
• we then create a 0.10.2 tag and delete the release/0.10.2 branch
