+# Release Process Guide
+
+**First time setup:** Make sure you have the nbgv tool installed before doing anything else:
+```bash
+dotnet tool install -g nbgv
+```
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+### Check current version
+To see what version you’re currently on, just run:
+```bash
+nbgv get-version
+```
+
+### Patch release (1.0.0 → 1.0.1)
+Want to create a quick patch release? Simply commit and push to main - the version bumps up automatically!
+
+### Minor release (1.0.x → 1.1.0)
+If you’re looking to add some new features but don’t want to change the major version, do this:
+```bash
+nbgv prepare-release
+git checkout main
+git merge release/v1.1
+git push
+```
+
+### Major release (1.x.x → 2.0.0)
+Ready to make some breaking changes? Here’s how to bump up the major version:
+1. Open up `version.json` and change `"version": "1.0"` to `"version": "2.0"`
+2. Commit and push those changes to main
+
+### Manual release (if things break)
+In case of emergencies, you can manually run the GitHub Action:
+1. Head over to the [Actions tab](https://github.com/mtfarkas/GithubRepoRemover/actions)
+2. Hit "Build and Release"
+3. Click "Run workflow"
+4. Make sure "Create a GitHub release" is checked
+5. Click "Run workflow" again
+
+## How this works
+
+### Version numbers
+Here's the lowdown on versioning:
+- **Patch versions** (1.0.0 → 1.0.1): These tick up automatically with each commit to main
+- **Minor versions** (1.0.x → 1.1.0): You’ll use `nbgv prepare-release` for these
+- **Major versions** (1.x.x → 2.0.0): A quick edit in `version.json` is all you need
+
+### When releases happen automatically
+The magic happens and releases are created when:
+- You push a non-prerelease version to the main branch
+- OR you give it a nudge manually with the "create release" option
+
+### What gets built
+Wondering what gets bundled up in each release? You’ll find executables for:
+- Windows x64 (`github-repo-remover-win-x64.exe`)
+- macOS Intel (`github-repo-remover-osx-x64`)
+- macOS Apple Silicon (`github-repo-remover-osx-arm64`)
+- Linux x64 (`github-repo-remover-linux-x64`)
+
+## Step-by-step workflows
+
+### Hotfix/patch (most common)
+If you’re making a quick fix, here’s what to do:
+1. Make your changes
+2. Commit them: `git commit -m "Fix: whatever you fixed"`
+3. Push your changes: `git push`
+4. And you’re done! Release is created automatically 
+
+### Feature release
+Got a new feature ready? Follow these steps:
+1. Make your changes
+2. Commit them: `git commit -m "Add: new feature"`
+3. Prepare the release with:
+   ```bash
+   nbgv prepare-release
+   ```
+4. Merge the changes back to main:
+   ```bash
+   git checkout main
+   git merge release/v1.1  # (replace with the version it created)
+   ```
+5. Push it all up: `git push`
+6. Done deal! Release gets created automatically
+
+### Breaking change
+Making a breaking change? Here’s the process:
+1. Update `version.json` to bump the major version:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "version": "2.0",
+     // ... rest stays the same
+   }
+   ```
+2. Commit your changes: `git commit -m "BREAKING: what changed"`
+3. Push it all: `git push`
+4. That’s it! Release is created automatically
+
+## Manual release script
+
+Need to create a tag manually? Maybe testing or automation hiccuped? Here’s how:
+```powershell
+# First, see what would happen without actually doing it
+.\scripts\create-release.ps1 -WhatIf
+
+# If all looks good, go ahead and create the tag
+.\scripts\create-release.ps1
+```
+
+## When things go wrong
+
+### "Tag already exists" error
+If you hit a "Tag already exists" error, it means the GitHub Action is trying to avoid duplicate releases. To sort this out:
+1. Delete the problematic tag: `git tag -d v1.0.1 && git push origin :v1.0.1`
+2. Manually delete the GitHub release
+3. Either push your changes again or rerun the action manually
+
+### Version not incrementing
+Not seeing the version increment? Check if you have new commits since the last release. Remember, each commit to main should bump up the patch version.
+
+### Check what version will be built
+Curious about what version is up next? Run:
+```bash
+nbgv get-version --format json
+```
