We made some big changes on Pluto#master that are not ready to be released yet, but we would like to release a patch update with a small change relative to our latest release. Is this possible?

like do it in a branch?
yeah i guess my question is: can I release from a branch? am i allowed to delete that branch later?
- yes, no problem releasing from a branch
- you are allowed as long as you're happy to make a version to disappear, which sounds like a very bad idea
Deleting the branch after the release doesn't make the code inaccessible AFAIK
in the sense that GitHub keeps everything forever under the hood?
A Git tag will definitely preserve it
but anyway, I wouldn't encourage testing GitHub persistence and avoid doing something bad
Great, I will keep it then, thank you!
Yeah you should create a corresponding tag
The branch doesn't matter after that
