 # Publishing process

 The process for getting the Reference content into a [Rust release](https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/#rust-releases) and on the website is as follows:

 1. Changes are merged to this repository.
 2. [Triagebot](https://forge.rust-lang.org/triagebot/doc-updates.html) will automatically synchronize this repository to [rust-lang/rust]. This happens every other week. The Reference is tracked in [rust-lang/rust] as a [submodule](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/src/doc).
   - This will open a PR on [rust-lang/rust] that needs to be merged, which can take up to several days.
 3. At midnight UTC, whatever is on the default branch of [rust-lang/rust] will be part of that nightly release and will be published after a few hours to <https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/reference/>.
 4. Following Rust's [release process](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/appendix-07-nightly-rust.html), every 6 weeks, nightly is promoted to beta (<https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/reference/>), and 6 weeks after that, it is promoted to stable (<https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/reference/>).
