+# How to make a release
+
+`binderhub-service` is a Helm chart available in the Helm chart repository
+`https://2i2c.org/binderhub-service`.
+
+## Pre-requisites
+
+- Push rights to [2i2c-org/binderhub-service]
+
+## Steps to make a release
+
+1. Create a PR updating `docs/source/changelog.md` with [github-activity] and
+   continue only when its merged.
+
+   ```shell
+   pip install github-activity
+
+   github-activity --heading-level=3 2i2c-org/binderhub-service
+   ```
+
+1. Checkout main and make sure it is up to date.
+
+   ```shell
+   git checkout main
+   git fetch origin main
+   git reset --hard origin/main
+   ```
+
+1. Update the version, make commits, and push a git tag with `tbump`.
+
+   ```shell
+   pip install tbump
+   tbump --dry-run ${VERSION}
+
+   tbump ${VERSION}
+   ```
+
+   Following this, the [CI system] will build and publish a release.
+
+1. Reset the version back to dev, e.g. `1.1.0-0.dev` after releasing `1.0.0`
+
+   ```shell
+   tbump --no-tag ${NEXT_VERSION}-0.dev
+   ```

-# A chart can be either an 'application' or a 'library' chart.
-#
-# Application charts are a collection of templates that can be packaged into versioned archives
-# to be deployed.
-#
-# Library charts provide useful utilities or functions for the chart developer. They're included as
-# a dependency of application charts to inject those utilities and functions into the rendering
-# pipeline. Library charts do not define any templates and therefore cannot be deployed.
