Problem

We only need to create the branch. The bumping of the version will be handled by the release pipeline scripts.

See github scripts under: github.com/aws/aws-toolkit-vscode/tree/master/buildspec/release

• 10changeversion.yml: Removes -SNAPSHOT from version and creates git release tag

• 40pushtogithub.yml: Bumps to next development version with -SNAPSHOT suffix and pushes to GitHub

• 50githubrelease.yml: Creates official GitHub release with .vsix files and SHA384 hashes

Solution

Remove the logic to bump the version

• Treat all work as PUBLIC. Private feature/x branches will not be squash-merged at release time.
• Your code changes must meet the guidelines in CONTRIBUTING.md.
• License: I confirm that my contribution is made under the terms of the Apache 2.0 license.
