+# Contributing to ESC SDK
+
+## Building from source
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+* [OpenAPI Generator](https://openapi-generator.tech/docs/installation/)
+
+### Building
+
+ESC SDK uses OpenAPI Generator to auto-generate the raw API clients from the `swagger.yaml` definition.
+
+To build the autogenerated API clients, run:
+
+```shell
+make generate_sdks
+```
+
+Additionally, ESC SDK provides wrapper clients for TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, and Go. To build these packages, run:
+
+```shell
+make build_typescript
+make build_python
+make build_go
+```
+
+## Submitting a Pull Request
+
+For contributors we use the [standard fork based workflow](https://gist.github.com/Chaser324/ce0505fbed06b947d962): Fork this repository, create a topic branch, and when ready, open a pull request from your fork.
+
+## Creating a Release
+
+This section is for Pulumi employees only.
+
+To release a new version of the provider, follow steps below:
+- Create a release commit by updating `.version` and running `make generate_sdks` ([example](https://github.com/pulumi/esc-sdk/pull/61))
+- Run release commands, replacing `X.XX.XX` with your new version.
+     ```
+     git checkout main
+     git pull
+     git tag sdk/vX.XX.XX
+     git tag vX.XX.XX
+     git push origin vX.XX.XX
+     git push origin sdk/vX.XX.XX
+     ```
+- Github Actions will automatically build, test and then publish the new release to all the various package managers

 Pulumi ESC (Environments, Secrets, and Configurations) provides a developer-first solution to simplify how you manage sensitive data and configurations across your entire application lifecycle. It's a fully managed solution allowing teams to generate dynamic cloud provider credentials, aggregate secrets, and configurations from multiple sources, and manage them through composable collections called "environments." These environments can be consumed from anywhere, making Pulumi ESC ideal for any application and development workflow. Additionally, while Pulumi ESC works independently to eliminate duplication and reduce drift and sprawl of secrets and configuration for all your applications, it also integrates smoothly with Pulumi Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to enhance these capabilities within the Pulumi ecosystem.

+### Introducing the Pulumi ESC SDK
 We're excited to unveil the official Pulumi ESC SDK, making it even easier to harness the power of ESC directly within your applications using your favorite programming languages. The SDK provides a simple, programmatic interface to all of Pulumi ESC's robust features, allowing you to:
 
 Manage the Entire Lifecycle of Your Environments: Create new environments, list existing ones, and easily update or delete them as your needs evolve. You can even add version tags to your environments, making it simple to track changes and roll back to previous states if needed.
 Seamlessly Integrate Secrets and Configurations: Securely access and utilize secrets and configurations within your applications. The SDK provides a streamlined way to fetch the information you need, whether it's cloud credentials, database connection strings, feature flags, or any other sensitive data.
