Sourcegraph Helm Chart Release

The Sourcegraph Helm chart follows the standard [Sourcegraph releases] schedule, with monthly minor releases and patch releases as-needed.

Hotfixes not associated with a Sourcegraph release may be released by following the below process:

1. Commit the hotfix against the main branch

Follow the normal PR and testing process.

2. Create a new publish-x.y.z-rev.a branch off the last release/x.y branch

Hotfix releases will use a suffix to indicate they are a special type of release. This is necessary because semver only supports patch-level versioning, and we cannot overwrite a published version.

The version should look similar to 3.38.1-rev.1.

Cherry-pick the change from step 1 to this branch and follow the normal testing process to confirm an upgrade from the released version is safe.

3. Bump the version in Chart.yaml and update changelog

Update Chart.yaml to use the new version. Update the Changelog to reflect the new version.

3. Create a Pull Request

Commit all changes and open a Pull Request. The destination branch for your PR should be release/x.y, not main.
