+# Development
+
+## Tagging/versioning
+
+See context in [#5](https://github.com/pyTooling/Actions/issues/5).
+
+Tag new releases in the `main` branch using a semver compatible value, starting with `v`:
+
+```sh
+git checkout main
+git tag v0.0.0
+git push upstream v0.0.0
+```
+
+Move the corresponding release branch (starting with `r`) forward by creating a merge commit, and using the merged tag
+as the commit message:
+
+```sh
+git checkout r0
+git merge --no-ff -m 'v0.0.0' v0.0.0
+git push upstream r0
+```
