+# Release Process
+
+## 0. Pre-Release Checklist
+
+Before starting the release process, verify the following:
+
+- [GitHub Action for Unit Tests are green on main](https://github.com/MLBazaar/BTB/actions/workflows/tests.yml?query=branch:main)
+- [GitHub Action for Install Tests are green on main](https://github.com/MLBazaar/BTB/actions/workflows/install_test.yaml?query=branch:main)
+- Get agreement on the version number to use for the release.
+
+#### Version Numbering
+
+BTB uses [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/). Every release has a major, minor and patch version number, and are displayed like so: `<majorVersion>.<minorVersion>.<patchVersion>`.
+
+## 1. Create BTB release on GitHub
+
+#### Create Release Branch
+
+1. Branch off of BTB main. For the branch name, please use "release_vX.Y.Z" as the naming scheme (e.g. "release_v0.3.1").
+
+#### Bump Version Number
+
+1. Bump `__version__` in `baytune/version.py`, and `tests/test_version.py`.
+
+#### Update Changelog
+
+1. Replace top most "What’s new in" in `docs/changelog.rst` with the current date
+
+    ```
+    What’s new in 0.3.1 (January 4, 2023)
+    =====================================
+    ```
+
+2. Remove any unused sections for this release (e.g. Enhancements, Fixes, Changes)
+3. The release PR does not need to be mentioned in the list of changes
+
+#### Create Release PR
+
+A release PR should have **the version number as the title** and the notes for that release as the PR body text.
+
+Checklist before merging:
+
+- The title of the PR is the version number.
+- All tests are currently green on checkin and on `main`.
+- PR has been reviewed and approved.
+
+## 2. Create GitHub Release
+
+After the release pull request has been merged into the `main` branch, it is time draft [the GitHub release](https://github.com/HDI-Project/BTB/releases/new)
+
+- The target should be the `main` branch
+- The tag should be the version number with a v prefix (e.g. v0.3.1)
+- Release title is the same as the tag
+- This is not a pre-release
+- Publishing the release will automatically upload the package to PyPI
