   • Make your changes following the steps described above.
   • Commit your changes following the conventional git commit messages.
2. Run the tests to ensure everything is working.
3. Run make release to create a new tag and push it to the remote repo.

the make release will ask you the version number to create the tag, ex: type 0.1.1 when you are asked.

Caution

: The make release will change local changelog files and commit all the unstaged changes you have.
