[Bioc-devel] How to change version number in release

[Nitesh Turaga]

Hi,

You have to reset your commits before you can update your package again.

Please do something in the order of,

1) git reset --soft <commit number prior to accidental version bump>

2) Edit your DESCRIPTION file to fix the version number.

3) git add DESCRIPTION

4) git commit -m "Version bump"

5) git push origin master

6) git push upstream master

Please note that a lot of these commands rely on your knowledge of git. 
If you do not have a good understanding of how git works, I recommend to 
figure out what these commands do in a backup repository.

Best,

Nitesh
