+## Releasing a new version
+
+1. Ensure your local `main` branch is up to date with the remote `main` branch:
+
+```sh
+git checkout main
+git pull origin main
+git status
+```
+
+2. Ensure the current pipeline is passing on the `main` branch, [here](https://github.com/VeryGoodOpenSource/very_good_core/actions/workflows/very_good_core.yaml?query=branch%3Amain).
+
+3. From the repository, run the script to release a new version:
+
+```sh
+./tool/release_ready.sh <new-version>
+
+git commit -m "chore: v<new-version>"
+```
+
+This script will:
+- Create a new branch named `chore/v<new-version>`
+- Update the version info on `brick/brick.yaml`
+- Update the version info on `brick/CHANGELOG.md`
+- Then commit those changes with the message `chore: v<new-version>`
