 # Release Instructions
 
-```bash
-python setup.py sdist build
-python setup.py sdist upload
-```
+This list is supposed to make sure we do not forget any important steps during
+release.
+
+1. Check and update issue tracker for issues associated with current milestone
+
+2. Make sure all desired changes are merged with `master`.
+
+3. Create release-prep branch and update CHANGELOG.md with all elements missing
+
+4. Prepare a release on GitHub with: https://github.com/smarr/ReBench/releases/new
+   The content is normally just the last part of the CHANGELOG.md
+
+5. Bump the version https://github.com/smarr/ReBench/blob/master/rebench/__init__.py
+
+6. Push the branch, let CI test a last time
+
+7. If everything looks good, merge, and tag the release using the GitHub feature
+   If GitHub actions works correctly, it will publish the release on pip.
