### Creating a backport branch
If this is the first release candidate for a major release, you get to have the honor of creating
the backport branch!

1. Start on `master`
2. Create and push the backport branch:
`git checkout -b v0.35.x; git push origin v0.35.x`
3. Go back to master and tag it as the dev branch for the _next_ major release and push it back up:
`git tag -a v0.36.0-dev -m "Development base for Tendermint v0.36."; git push origin v0.36.0-dev`
4. Create a new workflow (still on master) to run e2e nightlies for the new backport branch.
(See https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/blob/master/.github/workflows/e2e-nightly-master.yml
for an example.)
5. Add a new section to the Mergify config (`.github/mergify.yml`) to enable the
```sh
git checkout -b v0.35.x
git push origin v0.35.x
```
After doing these steps, go back to `master` and do the following:
1. Tag `master` as the dev branch for the _next_ major release and push it back up.
For example:
```sh
git tag -a v0.36.0-dev -m "Development base for Tendermint v0.36."
git push origin v0.36.0-dev
```
2. Create a new workflow to run e2e nightlies for the new backport branch.
(See [e2e-nightly-master.yml][e2e] for an example.)
3. Add a new section to the Mergify config (`.github/mergify.yml`) to enable the
backport bot to work on this branch, and add a corresponding `S:backport-to-v0.35.x`
[label](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/labels) so the bot can be triggered.
4. Add a new section to the Dependabot config (`.github/dependabot.yml`) to
enable automatic update of Go dependencies on this branch. Copy and edit one
of the existing branch configurations to set the correct `target-branch`.

Before creating an official release, especially a major release, we may want to create a
