+The script can be run with `-c` to confirm or skip steps. There's also a `--dry-run` option that only prints out the steps.
+
+To release a new version of the package:
+
+* Create and merge a PR to bump the version in the changelog ([example PR](https://github.com/dbcli/pgcli/pull/1325)).
+* Pull `main` and bump the version number inside `pgcli/__init__.py`. Do not check in - the release script will do that.
+* Make sure you have the dev requirements installed: `pip install -r requirements-dev.txt -U --upgrade-strategy only-if-needed`.
+* Finally, run the release script: `python release.py`.
