+## Creating a Release
+
+Creating a new release now involves multiple steps:
+
+1. Decide type of release => releases are named in the following form `v(majorVersion).(minorVersion).(patchVersion)`.
+2. Set the new release number in the `main.go` file (variables named accordingly in lines 41-43).
+3. Create the new release.
