| 2 | + |
| 3 | +💡 Recommendation: |
| 4 | +- If you don't know **Git**, check out its [documentation][GitRef]. |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +✅ Entry conditions / Prerequisites: |
| 7 | +- Make sure you have a [🔑 PAT Token][PATToken] properly linked to the help repository that has not expired. If the token is not valid, the release script will fail. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +The simplified procedure for issuing a hint can be summarised as follows: |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +1. Open a terminal/command prompt |
| 12 | +2. Go to your repository |
| 13 | +3. Add all your unmerged changes: |
| 14 | +``` |
| 15 | +git add . |
| 16 | +``` |
| 17 | +4. Merge the changes into the repository: |
| 18 | +``` |
| 19 | +git commit -m "Help file changes" |
| 20 | +``` |
| 21 | +"Help file changes" - any of your descriptive messages can be here |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +5. Make a change to the **CHANGELOG.md** file at the root of the repository so that the beginning of the file looks like: |
| 24 | +``` |
| 25 | +# Changelog |
| 26 | +
|
| 27 | +## YMD |
| 28 | +- My changes |
| 29 | +``` |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +kde: |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +| Position | Description | |
| 34 | +|---|---| |
| 35 | +| YMD | the date will be in 202050622 format (year, month and day without separators) | |
| 36 | +| My changes | Write down your change descriptions | |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +6. Merge the changes into the repository: |
| 39 | +``` |
| 40 | +git commit -m "Help file changes [pub]" |
| 41 | +``` |
| 42 | +- "Help file changes" - any of your descriptive messages can be here |
| 43 | +- **[pub]** in the message text is required to run the release script |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +7. Merge your version into the GitHub server: |
| 46 | +``` |
| 47 | +git push |
| 48 | +``` |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +The release script is then run. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +The result will be an edition with attachments: |
| 53 | +- Help-(language short code).zip (for each individual language) |
| 54 | +- Help-.zip (for [custom Viewer UI][CustomUI]) |
