How would I make a hotfix/patch release to an older branch/release

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

Is it possible to be able to release from a fixes/hotfix/stable whatever branch?

E.g. master is ahead at 4.3.1. But I’m looking to release a security patch to 2.0.1 from a release2.0 branch for it to become 2.0.2.

How would I go about that in standard-version? Or is that scenario not supported?

Fritz

P.S. I’ve been looking through the issues, and the most similar ones to mine are those about named versions (#83, #84). But that’s not what I mean.

@Tapppi I don’t suppose you could be enlisted to add your notes to the README, I never feel like I fully followed what might be an appropriate workflow for hotfixes either.

Sorry if this is already answered (I had a hard time following the git-semver-tags stuff), but is there an easy way of merging the changelog entries from the older release branch back into the master changelog?

For context, I added a patch to an older release and now I want that release to be documented in the master changelog. It’s in the changelog in the release/x branch but not in master.
