Usage of git tags about tdigest HOT 2 OPEN

I agree, though I find tag management to be not obvious to me. Can you provide your own workflow, or a workflow you have seen?

from tdigest.

If you are using no tool for this purpose I think the default way is in order to make a new release is:

• Update the version to the new version number in setup.py, let's call the version X.Y.Z
• Also update __version___ in __init__.py to X.Y.Z what most tools provide, check numpy, scipy etc.
  import numpy as np; print(np.__version__)
• Update your readme and changelog files to reflect the new version
• Run all your unit tests again and check that they work
• Commit this and call it "Version bump"
• Create a git tag X.Y.Z
• Build and submit the package to PyPI, i.e. python setup.py bdist_wheel upload

My personal recommendation is to just use PyScaffold which will provide an automised version scheme during development. When you want to release it's only:

• Update Readme and Changelog
• Commit everything
• Create a git tag
• Build and submit your package

PyScaffold will handle the rest like setting the version number everywhere.
