+### Releasing a new version on GitHub and Brew
+
+We are using a tool called `goreleaser` which you can get from brew if you're on MacOS:
+`brew install goreleaser`
+
+After you have the tool, you can follow these steps:
+```
+export GITHUB_TOKEN=<your token with access to write to the zero repo>
+git tag -a <version number like v0.0.1> -m "Some message about this release"
+git push origin <version number>
+goreleaser release
+```
+
+This will create a new release in GitHub and automatically collect all the commits since the last release into a changelog.
+It will also build binaries for various OSes and attach them to the release and push them to brew.
+The configuration for goreleaser is in [.goreleaser.yml](.goreleaser.yml)
