ensure main is up to date and tests are passing on latest commit.

create new prerelease installers

• Click Actions -> Build Installers -> "Run Workflow" Dropdown Menu

  • Select the main branch in the "Use workflow from..." dropdown

  • Check "Pre-release" (or ensure it's checked)

  • Check "Publish release" (or ensure it's checked)

  • Click "Run Workflow"

    • If workflow fails for some reason, re-run all jobs and not only failed jobs or trigger a new clean build from Actions -> Build Installers -> "Run Workflow" Dropdown Menu. This is important because workflow commit an update to version.txt to main, and revert if cancelled or failure. A triggering a new workflow needs to re-run the configure step.

If everything went well:

• New release prerelease should be on Github at https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/releases

• A new tag should be on main for the new prerelease version

• version.txt on main should have been updated by the workflow to the pre-release version just released: https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/blob/main/version.txt
