+# Releasing (For Internal Use)
+
+This document outlines the steps to perform a release.
+
+### Determine if a Release is Required
+- Run the release checker script:
+  ```
+  python3 .ci/scripts/check_release.py
+  ```
+
+### Create a New Y-branch (e.g., 3.23)
+- If a new minor version (Y) is needed, trigger a [Create New Release Branch](https://github.com/pulp/pulp_ostree/actions/workflows/create-branch.yml) job via the GitHub Actions.
+- Look for the "Bump minor version" pull request and merge it.
+
+### Release a New Z-version (Patch Release) (e.g., 3.23.1, 3.22.12)
+- Trigger a [Release Pipeline](https://github.com/pulp/pulp_ostree/actions/workflows/release.yml) job by specifying the release branch (X.Y) via the GitHub Actions.
+
+### Final Steps (Optional but Recommended)
+- Ensure the new version appears on PyPI.
+- Verify that the changelog has been updated by looking for the "Update Changelog" pull request.
+- Post a brief announcement about the new release on the [Pulp Discourse](https://discourse.pulpproject.org/).
