In this project we follow the "git flow" branching strategy. To create a new release we need to start from develop branch and accomplish the workflow outlined below:

1. Create a ad-hoc release branch.

2. Update project release

After created successfully the release branch we must update the java project release runs the command mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=<version>. After the command successfully completed we must to confirm changes in pom.xml files runs command mvn version:commit

3. commit the release update

After update java project release we must commit to git runs commands

git add . ; git commit -m'build: bump to next version <version>'

4. wait for confirmation

At this point pause execution and ask to the user when ready to close the release, When he confirms proceed to next steps

5. close release

To close the release runs git flow release finish "<version>" -m"new release <version>" that will merge the branch release/<version> to both main and develop ones

6. update change log
