Typical sequence to tag upstream develop branch for a new release:

Make sure packages version number are updated

1. Fetch the latest changes from upstream:

git fetch upstream

2. Checkout the develop branch and update it:

Use if local develop branch already exists.

git checkout develop
git pull upstream develop

Use only if the branch does not exist locally.

git checkout -b develop upstream/develop

3. Create a new tag (replace vX.Y.Z with proper version):

git tag vX.Y.Z

4. Push the tag to the upstream remote:

git push upstream vX.Y.Z

Summary:

• Always tag from a clean, up-to-date develop branch.
• Use semantic versioning for your tag name (e.g., v1.2.0).
