+# Releasing a New Version of ZDNS
+We use [goreleaser](https://goreleaser.com) to release new versions of ZDNS. To release a new version, follow these steps:
+
+0. Install `goreleaser`:
+```shell  
+brew install goreleaser/tap/goreleaser
+```  
+
+1. Create a new tag and push to GH:
+```shell  
+git tag -a vA.B.C -m "Release A.B.C"
+```  
+
+2. Test the release:
+```shell  
+goreleaser release --skip-publish --clean
+```
+
+3. Set GitHub Token (at least configured with `write:packages`)
+```shell
+export GITHUB_TOKEN="YOUR_GH_TOKEN"
+```
+4. Push Tag to Github
+   Be sure that this tagged commit is what you want to tag. Once you push you shouldn't delete the tagged version.
+```shell
+git push origin vA.B.C
+```
+5. Release!
+```shell
+goreleaser release --clean
+```
+6. Update the [Release Notes](https://github.com/zmap/zdns/releases) with a description of your changes
