# Release steps for Dawnsorrow/HSCompare (Gitea + Dalamud)

Repo: **http://brassnet.ddns.net:33983/Dawnsorrow/HSCompare**

---

## 1. Push the code (one-time or after changes)

From this folder in a terminal:

```bash
cd "/home/jorg/Documents/My Dalamud Plugins/HSCompare"
git push -u origin main
```

If `git push` asks for credentials, use your Gitea login (username + password or token).  
If the remote is already added and push failed before, just run `git push`.

---

## 2. Create the release on Gitea and add the zip

1. Open **http://brassnet.ddns.net:33983/Dawnsorrow/HSCompare**
2. Go to **Releases** → **Create new release**
3. **Tag:** `v1.0.2` (must match the version in `pluginmaster.json`)
4. **Title:** e.g. `v1.0.2`
5. **Attach file:**  
   Upload this file from your PC:  
   `HSCompare/bin/Release/HSCompare/latest.zip`  
   (Build first with `dotnet build -c Release` if needed.)
6. Save the release.

The zip download URL will be:

**http://brassnet.ddns.net:33983/Dawnsorrow/HSCompare/releases/download/v1.0.2/latest.zip**

This is already set in `pluginmaster.json`.

---

## 3. Add the plugin in Dalamud (you and your users)

1. In-game, type **`/xlsettings`**
2. Open the **Experimental** tab
3. Under **Custom Plugin Repositories**, click **Add**
4. Paste this URL and save:

**http://brassnet.ddns.net:33983/Dawnsorrow/HSCompare/raw/main/pluginmaster.json**

If your default branch is `master` instead of `main`, use:

**http://brassnet.ddns.net:33983/Dawnsorrow/HSCompare/raw/master/pluginmaster.json**

5. Open the **Plugin Installer**, search for **HSCompare**, and install.

---

## 4. Later: new version (e.g. 1.0.3)

1. Bump `<Version>` in `HSCompare/HSCompare.csproj`
2. Update `CHANGELOG.md`
3. Run `dotnet build -c Release`
4. Commit, push: `git add . && git commit -m "Release v1.0.3" && git push`
5. On Gitea: new release with tag `v1.0.3`, attach the new `latest.zip` from `HSCompare/bin/Release/HSCompare/`
6. In the repo, edit `pluginmaster.json`: update `AssemblyVersion` (e.g. `1.0.3.0`), both download URLs to use `v1.0.3` in the path, and `LastUpdate` to current Unix time (`date +%s`). Commit and push.
