Release Script

01.usage.sh

./release.sh 0.1.0

release.sh

# If it's already created then set the symbolic reference.
if [ `git checkout --orphan release &> /dev/null; echo $?` -gt 0 ] ; then
  git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/release
fi

# Add specific files.
git add dist/lib.js
git add README
git add node_modules

# Make the version commit.
git commit -m "Tagging version $1"

# Tag this version.
git tag $1

# Return to previous branch.
git checkout -

Might be a little more robust:

- # Return to master.
- git checkout master
+ # Return to previous branch.
+ git checkout -

Per @jugglinmike, should investigate how to fail if files are missing. This would alleviate the potential for an empty relesae.
