+# Releasing a new version
+
+This documents all steps requires to release a new version of the central-login GitHub Action.
+
+## Create a new GitHub release incl. tag
+
+Once you're ready to release, create a GitHub release including a new release.
+Currently, no special GitHub action is used to draft the release, we use the default GitHub template for the release
+notes.
+
+We strive to version according to [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/).
+
+## Move the main version tag to the new version
+
+Once the new release is created including the new tag, we move the main version tag (i.e `v1`) to point to the newly
+released version.
+
+This is done by manually triggering the workflow `update-main-version`.
+
+As input, you have to choose the main version for which you want to move the referenced Git commit (i.e. `v1`) as well
+as the newly created release tag.
+
+Once the action run has been successful, the release of the new version is complete.
