# Versioning

React Native macOS uses [NX Release](https://nx.dev/features/manage-releases) to control its versioning. Our minor releases are synced to upstream releases of React Native, but our patch versions may differ. For instance, `react-native-macos@0.78.5` corresponds to `react-native@0.78.2`. You can find out how we sync our releases by looking at our packages' [react-native peer dependency](https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-macos/blob/8f8fd013d2a36cf2635dbcef76970119f7672b51/packages/react-native/package.json#L105).

## How to push a new patch release

If you have a PR you'd like to be included in a new release, you can add a [version plan](https://nx.dev/recipes/nx-release/file-based-versioning-version-plans#file-based-versioning-version-plans) to it.
If you have a PR you'd like to be included in a new release, you can add a [Changeset](https://github.com/changesets/changesets/blob/main/docs/adding-a-changeset.md) to it.

```shell
yarn nx release plan --message 'fix some bug' --only-touched=false patch
yarn change
```

# Sync to a new upstream React Native patch release
# Sync to a new upstream React Native patch release

Let's assume that we are trying to release a new patch release of `0.76.x`. Let's also assume that the latest commit in React Native's `0.76-stable` branch is the release commit we want to sync to. If not, `git merge` to an earlier commit.
Let's assume that we are trying to release a new patch release of `0.76.x`. Let's also assume that the latest commit in React Native's `0.76-stable` branch is the release commit we want to sync to. If not, `git merge` to an earlier commit.


Roughly, run the following commands to:
- Sync to the latest commit in React Native's 0.76-stable branch.
- Merge that branch into yours
- Add a version plan
- Add a Changeset

```shell
git switch -c 0.76/release upstream/0.76-stable
git merge facebook/0.76-stable
yarn nx release plan --message 'Sync to upstream React Native 0.76.x release' --only-touched=false patch
yarn change
```

Remember to update the peer dependency in `packages/react-native` for React Native macOS to the version you have merged to.
