 Notes:
 ------
 It requires a config file, see `config.yml`. Drop the `credentialsfile` parameter to use the [default AWS credentials chain](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/v1/developer-guide/configuring-sdk.html#specifying-credentials).

+Release
+-------
+
+go-minipypi uses [goreleaser](https://github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser) locally for releases.
+
+1. Install [goreleaser](https://goreleaser.com/install/)
+
+2. Ensure you're on a clean master, and tag the current commit for release -
+
+   ```sh
+   git tag -a "v0.4.0"
+   ```
+
+3. Do a dry-run of the release if necessary and check the artifacts in `dist/` -
+
+   ```sh
+   goreleaser --skip-publish
+   ```
+
+4. Using your GitHub token, complete the release -
+
+   ```sh
+   GITHUB_TOKEN=your_github_token_with_release_privileges goreleaser
+   ```
