+# Releasing
+
+Releases are Git tags named `vX.Y.Z`. Users pin the tag through `rev:` in their `.pre-commit-config.yaml`, so the tag
+must point at a commit that already contains the version bump and the changelog entry.
+
+1. Start from an up-to-date `main` (or a branch that will be merged into `main` before tagging).
+2. Choose the new version following [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+3. Update `CHANGELOG.md`:
+   - Rename the `[Unreleased]` entries into a new `## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD` section and leave an empty `## [Unreleased]`
+     above it.
+   - Update the link references at the bottom: `[Unreleased]` compares `vX.Y.Z...HEAD`, and add `[X.Y.Z]` comparing the
+     previous tag with `vX.Y.Z`.
+4. Set `version` in `pyproject.toml` to `X.Y.Z`.
+5. Run `uv lock` so the `mps-pre-commit-hooks` entry in `uv.lock` gets the new version.
+6. Update `rev:` in the usage example in `README.md` to `vX.Y.Z`.
+7. Run the checks:
+
+   ```bash
+   uv run pytest
+   ```
+
+8. Commit as `Bump version to X.Y.Z`, push, and merge to `main`.
+9. Tag the merge commit on `main` and push the tag:
+
+   ```bash
+   git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "Release X.Y.Z"
+   git push origin vX.Y.Z
+   ```
+
+Never move or delete a tag after pushing it, since users may already have it cached. If a tag was created too early,
+release the next patch version instead and mention it in the changelog.
