Create a release patch, new version

[Hui Zhao]

Now I have a release 1.0.0.

 I just found a bug and already fixed it. So I push it, how to generate a new version? SAY 1.0.1 or 2.0.0 maybe?

And because of stupid, I click "Git Flow" and "Finish the release". It goes to "master" now. I don't know how to do it.

Thank you.

Ok, so 1.0.0 is a branch.

And you are using git flow, so it sounds like 1.0.0 is a release branch (is it technically release/1.0.0?).

Did you fix the bug on the release branch release/1.0.0? And then you "finished the release"?

It sounds like you're fine. According to the gitflow workflow, the release/1.0.0 branch is not the actual 1.0.0 version. Rather, the point at which that branch is merged into master is version 1.0.0. It should be "tagged" appropriately.

Yes, if it is a re-tag issue. How to change it as 2.0.0 if I make a bit change and commit the code? Steps in SourceTree would you please?

[Hui Zhao]

I don't know. Somebody else created "1.0.0" branch for me. Now he is on the vacation and I am stuck here.

Well, how did you create the 1.0.0 release? Version numbers are not an integrated feature of git.
