+## Testing a new feature using CLI
+
+1. After you've written some new code, in order to test it out, you can use the [CLI][CLI].
+
+   The below command should be run from the root of the source code:
+
+   ```
+   node build/src/bin/release-please.js release-pr \
+   --token=$GITHUB_TOKEN \
+   --repo-url=<owner>/<repo> [extra options]
+   ```
+
+   It is equivalent to running the CLI command:
+
+   ```
+   release-please release-pr \
+   --token=$GITHUB_TOKEN \
+   --repo-url=<owner>/<repo> [extra options]
+   ```
