/label ~"Apps::Type::Backport"
**NOTE:** All examples in this template reference the rebase from 102.7.0esr to 102.8.0esr
<details>
<summary>Explanation of Variables</summary>
- `$(ESR_VERSION)`: the Mozilla defined ESR version, used in various places for building tor-browser tags, labels, etc
- **Example**: `102.8.0`
- `$(ESR_TAG)`: the Mozilla defined hg (Mercurial) tag associated with `$(ESR_VERSION)`
- **Example**: `FIREFOX_102_8_0esr_RELEASE`
- `$(ESR_TAG_PREV)`: the Mozilla defined hg (Mercurial) tag associated with the previous ESR version when rebasing (ie, the ESR version we are rebasing from)
- **Example**: `FIREFOX_102_7_0esr_BUILD1`
- `$(BROWSER_MAJOR)`: the browser major version
- **Example**: `12`
- `$(BROWSER_MINOR)`: the browser minor version
- **Example**: either `0` or `5`; Alpha's is always `(Stable + 5) % 10`
- `$(BASE_BROWSER_BRANCH)`: the full name of the current `base-browser` branch
- **Example**: `base-browser-102.8.0esr-12.5-1`
- `$(BASE_BROWSER_BRANCH_PREV)`: the full name of the previous `base-browser` branch
- **Example**: `base-browser-102.7.0esr-12.5-1`
- `$(TOR_BROWSER_BRANCH)`: the full name of the current `tor-browser` branch
- **Example**: `tor-browser-102.8.0esr-12.5-1`
- `$(TOR_BROWSER_BRANCH_PREV)`: the full name of the previous `tor-browser` branch
- **Example**: `tor-browser-102.7.0esr-12.5-1`
</details>
**NOTE:** It is assumed that we've already identified the new ESR branch during the tor-browser stable rebase
### **Bookkeeping**
- [ ] Link this issue to the appropriate [Release Prep](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser-build/-/issues/?sort=updated_desc&state=opened&label_name%5B%5D=Apps%3A%3AType%3A%3AReleasePreparation) issue.
### Update Branch Protection Rules
- [ ] In [Repository Settings](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/settings/repository):
- [ ] Remove previous alpha `base-browser` and `tor-browser` branch protection rules (this will prevent pushing new changes to the branches being rebased)
- [ ] Create new `base-browser` and `tor-browser` branch protection rule:
- **Branch**: `*-$(ESR_VERSION)esr-$(BROWSER_MAJOR).$(BROWSER_MINOR)-1*`
- **Example**: `*-102.8.0esr-12.5-1*`
- **Allowed to merge**: `Maintainers`
- **Allowed to push and merge**: `Maintainers`
- **Allowed to force push**: `false`
- If you copied and pasted from old rules, double check you didn't add spaces at the end, as GitLab will not trim them!
### **Create New Branches**
- [ ] Find the Firefox mercurial tag `$(ESR_TAG)`
- If `$(BROWSER_MINOR)` is 5, the tag should already exist from the stable release
- Otherwise:
- [ ] Go to `https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-esr$(ESR_MAJOR)/tags`
- [ ] Find and inspect the commit tagged with `$(ESR_TAG)`
- Tags are in yellow in the Mercurial web UI
- [ ] Find the equivalent commit in `https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/commits/esr$(ESR_MAJOR)`
- The tag should be very close to `HEAD` (usually the second, before a `No bug - Tagging $(HG_HASH) with $(ESR_TAG)`)
- **Notice**: GitHub sorts commits by time, you might want to use `git log gecko-dev/esr$(ESR_MAJOR)` locally, instead
- [ ] Sign/Tag the `gecko-dev` commit: `git tag -as $(ESR_TAG) $(GIT_HASH) -m "Hg tag $(ESR_TAG)"`
- [ ] Create new alpha `base-browser` branch from Firefox mercurial tag
- Branch name in the form: `base-browser-$(ESR_VERSION)esr-$(BROWSER_MAJOR).$(BROWSER_MINOR)-1`
- **Example**: `base-browser-102.8.0esr-12.5-1`
- [ ] Create new alpha `tor-browser` branch from Firefox mercurial tag
- Branch name in the form: `tor-browser-$(ESR_VERSION)esr-$(BROWSER_MAJOR).$(BROWSER_MINOR)-1`
- **Example**: `tor-browser-102.8.0esr-12.5-1`
- [ ] Push new `base-browser` branch to `upstream`
- [ ] Push new `tor-browser` branch to `upstream`
### **Rebase tor-browser**
- [ ] Checkout a new local branch for the `tor-browser` rebase
- **Example**: `git branch tor-browser-rebase FIREFOX_102_8_0esr_BUILD1`
- [ ] **(Optional)** `base-browser` rebase and autosquash
- **NOTE** This step may be skipped if the `HEAD` of the previous `base-browser` branch is a `-buildN` tag
- [ ] Cherry-pick the previous `base-browser` commits up to `base-browser`'s `buildN` tag onto new `base-browser` rebase branch
- **Example**: `git cherry-pick FIREFOX_102_7_0esr_BUILD1..base-browser-102.7.0esr-12.5-1-build1`
- [ ] Rebase and autosquash these cherry-picked commits
- **Example**: `git rebase --autosquash --interactive FIREFOX_102_8_0esr_BUILD1 HEAD`
- [ ] Cherry-pick remainder of patches after the `buildN` tag
- **Example**: `git cherry-pick base-browser-102.7.0esr-12.5-1-build1..upstream/base-browser-102.7.0esr-12.5-1`
- [ ] `tor-browser` rebase and autosquash
- [ ] Note the current git hash of `HEAD` for `tor-browser` rebase+autosquash step: `git rev-parse HEAD`
- [ ] Cherry-pick the appropriate previous `tor-browser` branch's commit range up to the last `tor-browser` `buildN` tag
- **Example**: `git cherry-pick base-browser-102.7.0esr-12.5-1-build1..tor-browser-102.7.0esr-12.5-1-build1`
- **Example (if separate base-browser rebase was skipped)**: `git cherry-pick FIREFOX_102_7_0esr_BUILD1..tor-browser-102.7.0esr-12.5-1-build1`
- [ ] Rebase and autosquash **ONLY** these newly cherry-picked commits using the commit noted previously: `git rebase --autosquash --interactive $(PREV_HEAD)`
- **Example**: `git rebase --autosquash --interactive FIREFOX_102_8_0esr_RELEASE`
- [ ] **(Optional)** Patch reordering
- **NOTE**: We typically want to do this after new features or bug fix commits which are not !fixups to an existing commit have been merged and are just sitting at the end of the commit history
- Relocate new `base-browser` patches in the patch-set to enforce this rough thematic ordering:
- **MOZILLA BACKPORTS** - official Firefox patches we have backported to our ESR branch: Android-specific security updates, critical bug fixes, worthwhile features, etc
- **MOZILLA REVERTS** - revert commits of official Firefox patches
- **UPLIFT CANDIDATES** - patches which stand on their own and should be uplifted to `mozilla-central`
- **BUILD CONFIGURATION** - tools/scripts, gitlab templates, etc
- **BROWSER CONFIGURATION** - branding, mozconfigs, preference overrides, etc
- **SECURITY PATCHES** - security improvements, hardening, etc
- **PRIVACY PATCHES** - fingerprinting, linkability, proxy bypass, etc
- **FEATURES** - new functionality: updater, UX, letterboxing, security level, add-on
- Relocate new `tor-browser` patches in the patch-set to enforce this rough thematic ordering:
- **BUILD CONFIGURATION** - tools/scripts, gitlab templates, etc
- **BROWSER CONFIGURATION** - branding, mozconfigs, preference overrides, etc
- **UPDATER PATCHES** - updater tweaks, signing keys, etc
- **SECURITY PATCHES** - non tor-dependent security improvements, hardening, etc
- **PRIVACY PATCHES** - non tor-dependent fingerprinting, linkability, proxy bypass, etc
- **FEAURES** - non tor-dependent features
- **TOR INTEGRATION** - legacy tor-launcher/torbutton, tor modules, bootstrapping, etc
- **TOR SECURITY PATCHES** - tor-specific security improvements
- **TOR PRIVACY PATCHES** - tor-specific privacy improvements
- **TOR FEATURES** - new tor-specific functionality: manual, onion-location, onion service client auth, etc
- [ ] Cherry-pick remainder of patches after the last `tor-browser` `buildN` tag
- **Example**: `git cherry-pick tor-browser-102.7.0esr-12.5-1-build1..upstream/tor-browser-102.7.0esr-12.5-1`
- [ ] Rebase and autosquash again, this time replacing all `fixup` and `squash` commands with `pick`. The goal here is to have all of the `fixup` and `squash` commits beside the commit which they modify, but kept un-squashed for easy debugging/bisecting.
- **Example**: `git rebase --autosquash --interactive FIREFOX_102_8_0esr_RELEASE`
- [ ] Compare patch sets to ensure nothing *weird* happened during conflict resolution:
- [ ] diff of diffs:
- Do the diff between `current_patchset.diff` and `rebased_patchset.diff` with your preferred difftool and look at differences on lines that starts with + or -
- `git diff $(ESR_TAG_PREV)..$(BROWSER_BRANCH_PREV) > current_patchset.diff`
- `git diff $(ESR_TAG)..$(BROWSER_BRANCH) > rebased_patchset.diff`
- diff `current_patchset.diff` and `rebased_patchset.diff`
- If everything went correctly, the only lines which should differ should be the lines starting with `index abc123...def456` (unless the previous `base-browser` branch includes changes not included in the previous `tor-browser` branch)
- [ ] rangediff: `git range-diff $(ESR_TAG_PREV)..$(TOR_BROWSER_BRANCH_PREV) $(ESR_TAG)..HEAD`
- **Example**: `git range-dif FIREFOX_102_7_0esr_BUILD1..upstream/tor-browser-102.7.0esr-12.5-1 FIREFOX_102_8_0esr_BUILD1..HEAD`
- [ ] Open MR for the `tor-browser` rebase
- [ ] Merge
- Update and push `base-browser` branch
- [ ] Reset the new `base-browser` branch to the appropriate commit in this new `tor-browser` branch
- [ ] Push these commits to `upstream`
- [ ] Set `$(TOR_BROWSER_BRANCH)` as the default GitLab branch
- [ ] Go to [Repository Settings](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/settings/repository)
- [ ] Expand `Branch defaults`
- [ ] Set the branch and leave the `Auto-close` checkbox unchecked
- [ ] Save changes
### **Sign and Tag**
- [ ] Sign/Tag `HEAD` of the merged `tor-browser` branch:
- In **tor-browser.git**, checkout the new alpha `tor-browser` branch
- In **tor-browser-build.git**, run signing script:
```bash
./tools/browser/sign-tag.torbrowser alpha build1
```
- [ ] Push tag to `upstream`

- In **tor-browser.git**, checkout the new alpha `base-browser` branch
- In **tor-browser-build.git**, run signing script:
```bash
./tools/browser/sign-tag.basebrowser alpha build1
```
- [ ] Push tag to `upstream`
- [ ] Update tor-browser-build's `main` branch (no MR required, you can just push it if you have the permissions)
- [ ] Update `projects/firefox/config`
- [ ] Update `firefox_platform_version`
- [ ] Set `browser_build` to 1 (to prevent failures in alpha testbuilds)
- [ ] Update `projects/geckoview/config`
- [ ] Update `firefox_platform_version`
- [ ] Set `browser_build` to 1 (to prevent failures in alpha testbuilds)

/label ~"Apps::Type::Rebase"
- **NOTE**: All examples in this template reference the rebase from Firefox 129.0a1 to 130.0a1
- **TODO**:
- Documentation step for any difficulties or noteworthy things for each rapid rebase
<details>
<summary>Explanation of Channels</summary>
There are unfortunately some collisions between how we and Mozilla name our release channels which can make things confusing:
- **Firefox**:
- **Nightly**: \_START and \_END tags, version in the format `$(MAJOR).$(MINOR)a1`
- **Example**: Firefox Nightly 130 was `130.0a1`
- **Note**: Nightly is 2 major versions ahead of the current Release
- **Beta**: tagged each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday until release, version in the format `$(MAJOR).$(MINOR)b$(PATCH)`
- **Example**: the first Firefox Beta 130 was `130.0b1`
- **Note**: Beta is 1 major version ahead of the current Release, should be irrelevant to us
- **Release**: tagged monthly, version in the format `$(MAJOR).$(MINOR)` or `$(MAJOR).$(MINOR).$(PATCH)`
- **Example** Firefox Release 130 was `130.0`
- **ESR**: tagged monthly, version in the format `$(ESR_MAJOR).$(ESR_MINOR).$(ESR_PATCH)esr`
- **Example**: Firefox ESR 128.1 is `128.1.0esr`
- **Tor+Mullvad Browser**:
- **Rapid**: tagged monthly, based on the latest Firefox Nightly
- **Nightly**: not tagged, built nightly from our current Alpha branch's `HEAD`
- **Alpha**: tagged monthly, based on the latest Firefox ESR
- **Stable**: tagged monthly, based on oldest supported Firefox ESR

<summary>Branching Overview</summary>
Rebasing Tor Browser Rapid onto the current Firefox Nightly is a bit more confusing/involved than rebasing Tor Browser Alpha or Stable from one minor ESR to the next minor ESR.
The general process basically involves rebasing the previous Firefox Nightly-based Tor Browser Rapid onto the latest Firefox Nightly, and then cherry-picking all of the commits from the previous Firefox ESR-based Tor Browser Alpha after that channel's `build1` tag. This process presumes that the previous Tor Browser Alpha branch is locked and receiving no more changes.
This diagram provides a high-level view of the overall code-flow for rebasing/cherry-picking commits from Tor Browser Alpha based on Firefox 128.1.0esr and Tor Browser Rapid based on Firefox 129.0a1 onto Firefox 130.0a1:

merge tor-browser-130.0a1-15.0-1
commit id: "tor-browser-130.0a1-15.0-2-build1"
```
In this concrete example, the rebaser performs the following steps:
- create new `tor-browser-130.0a1-15.0-1`, and `tor-browser-130.0a1-15.0-2` branches from the `FIREFOX_NIGHTLY_130_END` tag.
- these will be the rebase review branches
- onto `tor-browser-130.0a1-15.0-1`, cherry-pick the range `FIREFOX_NIGHTLY_129_END..tor-browser-129.0a1-15.0-2-build1` (i.e. the Firefox Nightly 129-based Tor Browser Rapid commits)
- this updates the previous Tor Browser Rapid onto Firefox Nightly 130
- cherry-pick the new alpha patches onto `tor-browser-130.0a1-15.0-1` (i.e. cherry-pick `tor-browser-128.1.0esr-14.5-1-build2..origin/tor-browser-128.1.0esr-14.5-1`)
- onto `tor-browser-130.0a1-15.0-2`, rebase and autosquash the `FIREFOX_NIGHTLY_130_END..tor-browser-130.0a1-15.0-2-build1` commit range
- onto `tor-browser-130.0a1-15.0-2`, cherry-pick the remaining commit range `tor-browser-130.0a1-15.0-2-build1..origin/tor-browser-130.0a1-15.0-2`
- re-order any remaining fixup! commits to be adjacent to their parents (i.e. the same rebase command queue as one would get from `git rebase --autosquash`, but with the `fixup!` commands replaced with `pick!` commands).
- this re-organises the branch in a nicely-bisectable way, and will ensure the rebase+autosquash step for the next release *should* succeed without any additional effort

### Update Branch Protection Rules
- [ ] In [Repository Settings](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/settings/repository):
- [ ] Remove previous nightly `tor-browser` branch protection rules (this will prevent pushing new changes to the branches being rebased)
- [ ] Create new `tor-browser` branch protection rule:
- **Branch**: `tor-browser-$(NIGHTLY_VERSION)-$(BROWSER_VERSION)-*`
- **Example**: `tor-browser-130.0a1-15.0-*`
- **Allowed to merge**: `Maintainers`
- **Allowed to push and merge**: `Maintainers`
- **Allowed to force push**: `false`
- ⚠️ **IMPORTANT**: If you copied and pasted from old rules, double check you didn't add spaces at the end, as GitLab will not trim them!
### **Create New Branches**
- [ ] Find the Firefox mercurial tag `$(NIGHTLY_TAG)`
- Go to https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/tags
- Find and inspect the commit tagged with `$(NIGHTLY_TAG)`
- Tags are in yellow in the Mercurial web UI
- Find the equivalent commit in https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/commits/master
- **Notice**: GitHub sorts commits by time, you might want to use `git log gecko-dev/master` locally, instead
- Using the differential revision link is useful to quickly find the git commit
- Sign/Tag the `gecko-dev` commit: `git tag -as $(NIGHTLY_TAG) $(GIT_HASH) -m "Hg tag $(NIGHTLY_TAG)"`
- [ ] Create two new rapid `tor-browser` branches from Firefox mercurial tag
- Branch name in the form: `tor-browser-$(NIGHTLY_VERSION)-$(BROWSER_VERSION)-${BRANCH_NUM}`
- **Example**: `tor-browser-130.0a1-15.0-1` and `tor-browser-130.0a1-15.0-2`
- [ ] Push new `tor-browser` branches and the `firefox` tag to `upstream`
### **Rebase previous `-2` rapid branch's HEAD onto current `-1` rapid branch**
- **Desired outcome**:
- An easy to review branch with the previous rapid branch rebased onto the latest Firefox Nighty tag
- It must be possible to run `git range-diff` between the previous `-2` and the new branch
- We want to see only the effects of the rebase
- No autosquash should happen at this point
- **Expected difficulties**:
- Conflicts with upstream developments
- Sometimes it will be hard to keep a feature working. It's fine to drop it, and create an issue to restore it after a deeper investigation.
- [ ] Checkout a new local branch for the first part of the `-1` rebase
- **Example**: `git checkout -b rapid-rebase-part1 origin/tor-browser-130.0a1-15.0-1`
- [ ] Firefox Nightly-based `tor-browser` rebase:
- [ ] cherry-pick previous Tor Browser Rapid `-2` branch to new `-1` rebase branch
- **Example**: `git cherry-pick FIREFOX_NIGHTLY_129_END..origin/tor-browser-129.0a1-15.0-2`
- [ ] Rebase Verification:
- [ ] Clean range-diff between the previous rapid branch and current rebase branch
- **Example**:
```bash
git range-diff FIREFOX_NIGHTLY_129_END..origin/tor-browser-129.0a1-15.0-2 FIREFOX_NIGHTLY_130_END..rapid-rebase-part1
```
- [ ] Optional: clean diff of diffs between previous rapid branch and current rebase branch
- **Example**:
```bash
git diff FIREFOX_NIGHTLY_129_END origin/tor-browser-129.0a1-15.0-2 > 129.diff
git diff FIREFOX_NIGHTLY_130_END HEAD > 130.diff
# A two-column diff tool is suggested rather than plain-diff, e.g., meld on Linux.
meld 129.diff 130.diff
```
- **Note**: Only differences should be due to resolving merge conflicts with upstream changes from Firefox Nightly
- [ ] Open MR
- [ ] Merge
- [ ] Sign/Tag `HEAD` of the merged `tor-browser` branch:
- In **tor-browser.git**, checkout the `-1` rapid `tor-browser` branch
- In **tor-browser-build.git**, run signing script:
```bash
./tools/browser/sign-tag.torbrowser rapid build1
```
- [ ] Push tag to `upstream`
### **Port new alpha patches to `-1`**
- **Desired outcome**:
- The previous release-cycle's new alpha patches cherry-picked to the end of the current nightly
- It must be possible to run `git range-diff ESR-build1..ESR NIGHTLY-build1..`
- **Expected difficulties**:
- Conflicts with upstream developments (similar to the previous part)
- The range might contain cherry-picked upstream commits, which will result in empty commits: it's fine to skip them
- **Note**: The Tor Browser Alpha branch should be closed at this point and not receiving any more MRs
- [ ] Checkout a new local branch for the second part of the `-1` rebase
- **Example**: `git checkout -b rapid-rebase-part2 origin/tor-browser-130.0a1-15.0-1`
- [ ] Cherry-pick the new `tor-browser` alpha commits (i.e. the new dangling commits which did not appear in the previous Tor Browser Alpha release):
- **Example** `git cherry-pick tor-browser-128.1.0esr-14.5-1-build1..origin/tor-browser-128.1.0esr-14.5-1`
- [ ] Rebase Verification
- [ ] Clean range-diff between the alpha patch set ranges
- **Example**:
```bash
git range-diff tor-browser-128.1.0esr-14.5-1-build1..origin/tor-browser-128.1.0esr-14.5-1 origin/tor-browser-130.0a1-15.0-1..HEAD
```
- [ ] Clean diff of diffs between the alpha patch set ranges
- **Example**:
```bash
git diff tor-browser-128.1.0esr-14.5-1-build1 origin/tor-browser-128.1.0esr-14.5-1 > 128.1.0esr.diff
git diff origin/tor-browser-130.0a1-15.0-1 HEAD > 130.diff
# A two-column diff tool is suggested rather than plain-diff, e.g., meld on Linux.
meld 128.1.0esr.diff 130.diff
```
- **Note**: Only differences should be due to resolving merge conflicts with upstream changes from Firefox Nightly
- [ ] Open MR
- [ ] Merge
- [ ] Sign/Tag `HEAD` of the merged `tor-browser` branch:
- In **tor-browser.git**, checkout the `-1` rapid `tor-browser` branch
- In **tor-browser-build.git**, run signing script:
```bash
./tools/browser/sign-tag.torbrowser rapid build2
```
- [ ] Push tag to `upstream`
### **Squash and Reorder tor-browser `-1` branch to new `-2` branch**
- **Desired outcome**:
- The rapid branch from the previous step prepared for the next nightly
- **Rationale**:
- We squash a lot of commits. We want to keep them a little bit longer rather than squashing them immediately for troubleshooting and documentation purposes.
- Doing this as a separate pass helps to separate errors due to upstream changes from errors due to processes created by our workflow.
- **Expected difficulties**:
- our patches aren't disjoint, therefore we might have conflicts when shuffling them around.
- [ ] Checkout a new local branch for the `-2` rebase, aligned to -1-build1
- **Example**: `git checkout -b rapid-rebase-part3 tor-browser-130.0a1-15.0-1-build1`
- [ ] Rebase with autosquash. This step should be trivial and not involve any conflicts.
- **Example**: `git rebase -i --autosquash FIREFOX_NIGHTLY_130_END`
- [ ] Cherry-pick the remaining commits
- **Example**: `git cherry-pick tor-browser-130.0a1-15.0-1-build1..upstream/tor-browser-130.0a1-15.0-1`
- [ ] Create a branch for self-reviewing purposes, or take note of the current commit hash somewhere
- **Example**: `git branch rapid-rebase-part3-review`
- You do not need to publish this, and you can delete it at the end of the process (`git branch -D rapid-rebase-part3-review`)
- When you are a reviewer, it might be useful to repeat these steps locally. They should not involve mental overhead (and PieroV has a script to automate this)
- [ ] Rebase and reorder commits (i.e. replace `fixup `, `fixup -C ` and `squash ` with `pick ` commands)
- Notice the space at the end, to avoid replacing `fixup!` with `pick!` in the commit subject, even though git will probably not care of such changes
- [ ] Rebase Verification
- [ ] Clean range-diff between the temporary review branch and the final branch
- **Example**:
```bash
git range-diff FIREFOX_NIGHTLY_130_END..rapid-rebase-part3-review FIREFOX_NIGHTLY_130_END..rapid-rebase-part3
```
- If you are the reviewer, it should be trivial to create such a branch on your own, as no shuffling is involved
- [ ] Clean diff of diffs between rapid branches
- **Example**:
```bash
git diff FIREFOX_NIGHTLY_130_END tor-browser-130.0a1-15.0-1-build2 > 130-1.diff
git diff FIREFOX_NIGHTLY_130_END HEAD > 130-2.diff
```
- [ ] Understandable range-diff (i.e. `fixup!` patches are distributed from end of branch next to their parent)
- **Example**:
```bash
git range-diff FIREFOX_NIGHTLY_130_END..tor-browser-130.0a1-15.0-1-build2 FIREFOX_NIGHTLY_130_END..HEAD
```
- [ ] Open MR
- [ ] Merge
- [ ] Sign/Tag `HEAD` of the merged `tor-browser` branch:
- In **tor-browser.git**, checkout the `-2` rapid `tor-browser` branch
- In **tor-browser-build.git**, run signing script:
```bash
./tools/browser/sign-tag.torbrowser rapid build1
```
- [ ] Push tag to `upstream`
### **Create and Tag base-browser `-2` branch**
- [ ] Find the last commit in the merged `-2` `tor-browser` branch with a `BB XXXXX...` subject
- [ ] Create new branch from this commit
- Branch name in the form: `base-browser-$(NIGHTLY_VERSION)-$(BROWSER_VERSION)-2`
- **Example**: `base-browser-130.0a1-15.0-2`
- [ ] Push branch to `upstream`
- [ ] Sign/Tag latest `HEAD` of the merged `base-browser` branch:
- In **tor-browser.git**, checkout the `-2` rapid `tor-browser` branch
- In **tor-browser-build.git**, run signing script:
```bash
./tools/browser/sign-tag.basebrowser rapid build1 ${COMMIT}
```
- [ ] Push tag to `upstream`
