Fork Maintenance

The gitlab repository does not track the generated protobuf pb.go files for security reasons.

In order to use gitlab.com/thorchain/thornode as a golang dependency, a fork needs to be maintained and updated for and supported versions.

Steps to support a new release:

1. Add upstream repository

   git remote add upstream https://gitlab.com/thorchain/thornode.git

2. Fetch release branch

   git fetch upstream release-1.95.0

3. Remove cached terraform artifacts that blow out the github upload limit

   git filter-branch -f --index-filter 'git rm --cached -r --ignore-unmatch infra/.terraform/'

4. Generate protobuf files

   make protob

5. Update .gitignore to track pb.go files

   sed -i '/*.pb.go/d' .gitignore

6. Add and commit files

   git add .
   git commit -m "chore(release): v1.95.0 (generated protobuf)"

7. Tag release version

   git tag v1.95.0

8. Push release branch and tag

   git push origin release-1.95.0
   git push origin v1.95.0

Steps to use forked dependency in your golang project:

1. Add gitlab.com/thorchain/thornode dependency

   go get gitlab.com/thorchain/thornode

2. Replace dependency with forked version

   go mod edit -replace gitlab.com/thorchain/thornode=github.com/shapeshift/thornode@v1.95.0

3. Tidy go modules as needed

   go mod tidy
