+There are no preparation steps.
 
-* the version is computed from git tags
-* The changelog is generated from git and lives outside of git
-
-## Tagging
-
-Pull the latest `master` branch and locally `git tag -s 0.0.9`.
-
-When breaking changes are introduced bump the minor or major accordingly, restting the patch version.
+* the version is computed from [Conventional Commit](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) tags
+* There is no changelog; the GitHub release notes are generated based on [Conventional Commit](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) tags 
 
 ## Releasing
 
-Push the tag to GitHub and [GitHub Workflows](.github/workflows/release.yml) and [GoReleaser](.goreleaser.yml) will do the rest.
+Run the GitHub Actions [Release Workflow](.github/workflows/release.yml) on the `main` branch.
 
-```sh
-git push origin --tags 0.0.9
-```
+The release workflow:
+- Uses [Semantic Release](.releaserc.json) to determine the next version number and create the GitHub release
+- Uses [GoReleaser](.goreleaser.yml) to build the CLI binaries and attach them to the GitHub release
+- Updates the Homebrew tap
 
 This will build and release binaries for several different OS and Architecture combinations.
