Release Management
Currently, we made Codex binaries available in three places:
- GitHub Releases https://github.com/openai/codex/releases/
@openai/codexon npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@openai/codexcodexon Homebrew: https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/codex
Cutting a Release
Currently, choosing the version number for the next release is a manual process. In general, just go to https://github.com/openai/codex/releases/latest and see what the latest release is and increase the minor version by 1, so if the current release is 0.20.0, then the next release should be 0.21.0.
Assuming you are trying to publish 0.21.0, first you would run:
VERSION=0.21.0
./codex-rs/scripts/create_github_release.sh "$VERSION"
This will kick off a GitHub Action to build the release, so go to https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/workflows/rust-release.yml to find the corresponding workflow. (Note: we should automate finding the workflow URL with gh.)
When the workflow finishes, the GitHub Release is "done," but you still have to consider npm and Homebrew.
Publishing to npm
The GitHub Action is responsible for publishing to npm.
Publishing to Homebrew
For Homebrew, we are properly set up with their automation system, so every few hours or so it will check our GitHub repo to see if there is a new release. When it finds one, it will put up a PR to create the equivalent Homebrew release, which entails building Codex CLI from source on various versions of macOS.
Inevitably, you just have to refresh this page periodically to see if the release has been picked up by their automation system:
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pulls?q=%3Apr+codex
Once everything builds, a Homebrew admin has to approve the PR. Again, the whole process takes several hours and we don't have total control over it, but it seems to work pretty well.
For reference, our Homebrew formula lives at:
