+# Release process:
+#
+# 1. Making a release requires PGP signing. Please make sure you generated a key.
+#   See https://www.scala-sbt.org/sbt-pgp/usage.html
+#
+# 2. Make sure your key is uploaded to one of keyservers. For instance, it is required to
+#   run 'sbt "pgp-cmd receive-key <key id> hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com"'.
+#   See https://www.scala-sbt.org/sbt-pgp/usage.html
+#
+# 3. You should have an access to Databricks domain. This is typically
+#   requested by JIRA in Sonatype per individual.
+#   See https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/OSSRH-19509
+#
+# 4. Run this script, for instance, as below:
+#   'USERNAME=username PASSWORD=password dev/make-release.sh'
+#   USERNAME and PASSWORD are the user name and password for Sonatype Nexsus Repository Manager.
+#
+# 5. After pushing the artifect to staging repogitory by running this script, you can manually
+#   release it in https://oss.sonatype.org.
+#   See also https://www.scala-sbt.org/1.x/docs/Using-Sonatype.html
