 ## Publishing `turbo` to the npm registry
 
-All builds are handled by manually triggering the appropriate [`release` GitHub workflow](./.github/workflows/release.yml).
-
-To manually run a release:
-
-1. `brew install goreleaser`
-2. Add `GORELEASER_KEY` env var with the GoReleaser Pro key (ask @turbo-oss to get access to the key)
-3. Update `version.txt` (do not commit this change to git manually)
-4. `cd cli && make publish`
+See [the publishing guide](./release.md#release-turborepo).
