 ### Linting and tests
 
 We use `flow` for type checking, `eslint` with `prettier` for linting and formatting the code, and `jest` for testing. Our pre-commit hooks verify that the linter and tests pass when commiting. You can also run the following commands manually:
 
-* `yarn flow`: run flow on all files.
-* `yarn lint`: run eslint and prettier.
-* `yarn test`: run tests.
+- `yarn flow`: run flow on all files.

 ### Sending a pull request
 
 When you're sending a pull request:
 
-* Prefer small pull requests focused on one change.
-* Verify that `flow`, `eslint` and tests are passing.
-* Preview the documentation to make sure it looks good.
-* Follow the pull request template when opening a pull request.

+### Publishing a release
+
+We use [release-it](https://github.com/webpro/release-it) to automate our release. If you have publish access to the NPM package, run the following from the master branch to publish a new release:
+
+```sh
+yarn release
+```
