As part of the monorepo the go modules require a special tag format and release sequence to make it work correctly. Create a script which should handle bumping the version, creating the the commits and tagging the right ones and then bumpming the module.

Below are the steps I did for the manual release which should be made as part of a script that takes the three storage, image and common versions as argument:

git checkout -b release

commit: bump storage to v1.60.0

git push origin release
git tag -s -m storage/v1.60.0 storage/v1.60.0 HEAD

1. push branch
2. make PR
3. wait merge
   git push upstream storage/v1.60.0

1. update storage in image/common go.mod
   go get go.podman.io/storage@v1.60.0
   commit:  go.mod: update to storage v1.60.0

commit: bump image to v5.37.0

git tag -s -m image/v5.37.0 image/v5.37.0 HEAD

1. push branch
2. make PR
3. wait merge

git push upstream image/v5.37.0

1. update image in common go.mod
   go get go.podman.io/storage@v1.60.0
   commit: go.mod: update to image v5.37.0

commit: bump common to v0.65.0

git tag -s -m common/v0.65.0 common/v0.65.0 HEAD

commit: bump back to dev

1. push branch
2. make PR
3. wait merge

git push upstream common/v0.65.0
