How to update cmd‐help after a bat release

Whenever a new version of bat is released:

• add a new tag to cmd-help (3m)

  GIT_COMMITTER_DATE="<datetime>" git tag -am "<msg>" <tag> <commit-SHA>`

  • on the latest commit of cmd-help that was included in the release
  • tag format like bat-v<x.y.z>
  • message like "Version of the syntax included with bat v<x.y.z>"
  • with the same date as their release but time 23:59:59 (GIT_COMMITTER_DATE)

• update the bat & syntect versions used in tests (5-10m)

  • bump BAT_VERSION in tests/docker/bat-test.dockerfile

  • match SYNTECT_VERSION in tests/docker/syntest.dockerfile to the one in bat

  • remove the Docker image for syntest, so tests/syntax.py is forced to rebuild:

    docker image rm syntest

  • re-run all tests

    tests/highlight_regression.sh
    tests/theme_regression.sh
    tests/syntax.py

  • commit any changes
