``` bash
# make sure you're in develop branch
git checkout develop
First, pick a commit that's about one week old (to not include latest additions to releases).
``` bash
# create new branch
git checkout -b new_release
git checkout -b new_release <commitid>

* Edit `freqtrade/__init__.py` and add the version matching the current date (for example `2019.7` for July 2019). Minor versions can be `2019.7-1` should we need to do a second release that month.
