+# Release
+
+Releases are automated from semver git tags.
+
+To make a release, create and push a semver tag from the commit you want to release:
+
+```sh
+git tag v1.2.3
+git push origin v1.2.3
+```
+
+The `Publish tag` GitHub Actions workflow runs on `v*` tags and validates the tag format before publishing. Use `vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`, such as `v1.2.3`, or a prerelease tag like `v1.2.3-rc.1`.
+
+The workflow publishes this multi-arch image to GitHub Container Registry:
+
+```text
+ghcr.io/kuberhealthy/http-check:<tag>
+```
+
+The image manifest includes:
+
+- `linux/amd64`
+- `linux/arm64`
+
+After the image is pushed, the workflow updates the example healthcheck YAML on `main` to use the released GHCR image tag.
+
+The workflow then creates or updates a GitHub release with the same semver as the tag. The release notes link to the GitHub package, and the release includes a `release-images.txt` asset listing the image and supported platforms.
+
+Docker image tags do not support `+`, so do not use semver build metadata in release tags.
