+# Release Instructions
+
+Follow the steps below to tag a new release for the `actions/attest` action.
+
+1. Merge the latest changes to the `main` branch.
+1. Create a new release using a tag of the form `vX.X.X` following SemVer
+   conventions:
+
+   ```shell
+   gh release create vX.X.X
+   ```
+
+1. As appropriate, update any actions like
+   [`actions/attest-build-provenance`](https://github.com/actions/attest-build-provenance)
+   and [`actions/attest-sbom`](https://github.com/actions/attest-sbom) which
+   have a dependency on `actions/attest`
