-# Release Process for CreamLinux
-
-This document describes the automated release process for CreamLinux, including version management, changelog generation, and asset publishing.
-
-## Overview
-
-CreamLinux uses GitHub Actions to automate the release process. The workflow handles:
-
-1. Version incrementing (patch, minor, major)
-2. Changelog generation from commit messages
-3. Building release artifacts (AppImage, Debian package)
-4. Publishing these artifacts to GitHub Releases
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-To use the release automation, you need:
-
-- Git installed locally
-- GitHub CLI installed and authenticated
-- Proper GitHub permissions on the repository
-- Optional: `act` for local testing (https://github.com/nektos/act)
-
-## Starting a Release
-
-### Method 1: Using the `npm run release` command (Recommended)
-
-The easiest way to trigger a release is using the npm script:
-
-```bash
-# For a patch release (0.1.0 -> 0.1.1)
-npm run release patch
-
-# For a minor release (0.1.0 -> 0.2.0)
-npm run release minor
-
-# For a major release (0.1.0 -> 2.0.0)
-npm run release major
-```
-
-You can also provide custom release notes:
-
-```bash
-npm run release minor "Added DLC management feature and improved UI"
-```
-
-If you don't provide custom notes, they will be automatically generated from commit messages since the last release.
-
-### Advanced Options
-
-The release script supports several advanced options:
-
-#### Dry Run
-
-Run the release process without actually creating a release:
-
-```bash
-npm run release patch --dry-run
-```
-
-This will perform all the version incrementing and workflow steps but won't create the actual GitHub release.
-
-#### Local Testing
-
-Test the workflow locally before running it on GitHub:
-
-```bash
-npm run release minor --local
-```
-
-This requires the `act` tool to be installed (https://github.com/nektos/act) and runs the workflow locally to check for errors.
-
-You can combine options:
-
-```bash
-npm run release patch --local --dry-run
-```
-
-### Method 2: Manually triggering the workflow in GitHub
-
-You can also manually trigger the workflow from the GitHub Actions tab:
-
-1. Go to your repository on GitHub
-2. Click on the "Actions" tab
-3. Select the "Release CreamLinux" workflow
-4. Click "Run workflow"
-5. Choose the version increment type (patch, minor, major)
-6. Optionally enter custom release notes
-7. Check the "dry run" option if you want to test without creating a release
-8. Click "Run workflow"
-
-## Release Process Details
-
-The release process follows these steps:
-
-1. **Version Calculation**: Determines the new version based on the current version and increment type
-2. **File Updates**: Updates version numbers in:
-   - `package.json`
-   - `src-tauri/Cargo.toml`
-   - `src-tauri/tauri.conf.json`
-3. **Changelog Generation**: If no custom notes are provided, generates a changelog from commits
-4. **Git Operations**:
-   - Commits the version changes
-   - Creates a version tag
-   - Pushes the changes and tag to the repository
-5. **Build Process**: Builds the application for Linux (and potentially other platforms)
-6. **Release Creation**: Creates a GitHub Release with the changelog after all builds are complete
-7. **Asset Upload**: Uploads the AppImage and Debian package to the release
-
-## Optimizations
-
-The release workflow includes several optimizations:
-
-- **Caching**: Uses Rust and npm caches to speed up build times
-- **Parallel Builds**: Builds for different platforms in parallel
-- **Artifact Management**: Properly manages build artifacts between jobs
-- **Error Handling**: Improves error detection and reporting
-
-## Release Artifacts
-
-The following artifacts are published to the GitHub release:
-
-- AppImage (`.AppImage`): Portable Linux executable
-- Debian Package (`.deb`): For Debian/Ubuntu-based distributions
-
-## Versioning Convention
-
-CreamLinux follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/):
-
-- **Major version**: Incompatible API changes
-- **Minor version**: Backwards-compatible functionality
-- **Patch version**: Backwards-compatible bug fixes
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-If you encounter issues with the release process:
-
-1. **Check GitHub Actions logs**: Review the workflow logs for detailed error information
-2. **Use local testing**: Run with `--local` flag to test locally before triggering on GitHub
-3. **Try dry run mode**: Use `--dry-run` to test the process without creating an actual release
-4. **Verify permissions**: Ensure you have write permissions to the repository
-5. **GitHub CLI authentication**: Run `gh auth status` to verify authentication
-
-Common errors:
-
-- **"act not found"**: Install the `act` tool for local testing
-- **Upload errors**: Check if the build produced the expected artifacts
-- **Permission errors**: Check GitHub permissions and token access
-
-For technical issues with the release workflow, contact the CreamLinux maintainers.
