+### Releases
+
+Lookbook uses [Release It!](https://github.com/release-it/release-it) to automate the release process.
+
+Running `npm run release` will start the process of publishing a new release and walks though all the steps from picking a version number to publishing the updated gem.
+
+Publishing a release requires write permissions for this repository (ViewComponent/lookbook) and 2FA publish permissions for Lookbook on RubyGems.
