Update Release Branch

The release branch is a special branch that is used for grafana cloud to point at our install scripts and example kubernetes manifests. This is not to be confused with release-VERSION_PREFIX created in Create Release Branch

Before you begin

1. The release tag should exist from completing Tag Release

Steps

1. Force push the release tag to the release branch

   git fetch
   git checkout main
   git branch -f release VERSION
   git push -f origin refs/heads/release
   

   NOTE: This requires force push permissions on this branch. If this fails, reach out to one of the project maintainers for help.
