+## Making a Release
+
+After installing the package in development mode and installing
+`tox` with `pip install tox`, the commands for making a new release are contained within the `finish` environment
+in `tox.ini`. Run the following from the shell:
+
+```bash
+$ tox -e finish
+```
+
+This script does the following:
+
+1. Uses BumpVersion to switch the version number in the `setup.cfg` and
+   `src/bel2scm/version.py` to not have the `-dev` suffix
+2. Packages the code in both a tar archive and a wheel
+3. Uploads to PyPI using `twine`. Be sure to have a `.pypirc` file configured to avoid the need for manual input at this
+   step
+4. Push to GitHub. You'll need to make a release going with the commit where the version was bumped.
+5. Bump the version to the next patch. If you made big changes and want to bump the version by minor, you can
+   use `tox -e bumpversion minor` after.
