 ## Releasing
 
-Start from a clean checkout at master/HEAD.
-
-Note: if you are using a new clone, you'll need to configure `git-clang-format` to be able to commit the release:
-
-1. `git config clangFormat.binary node_modules/.bin/clang-format`
-1. `git config clangFormat.style file`
-
-Googlers: you should npm login using the go/npm-publish service: `$ npm login --registry https://wombat-dressing-room.appspot.com`
-
-Check if there are any breaking changes since the last tag - if so, this will be a major. Check if there were new features added since the last tag - if so, this will be a minor.
-
-1. `npm version [major|minor|patch]` (`major` if there are breaking changes, `minor` if there are new features, otherwise `patch`)
-1. Manually update the CHANGELOG.md based on the commits since the last release. Look for breaking changes that weren't documented.
-1. If publishing from inside Google, set NPM_REGISTRY="--registry https://wombat-dressing-room.appspot.com" in your environment
-1. Build npm packages and publish them: `./scripts/publish_release.sh` (for a release candidate, add arguments `publish next`)
-1. Run `./scripts/update_nested_lock_files.sh` to update the lock files in all nested workspaces to new release
-1. `git commit -a -m 'chore: update lock files for release'`
-1. `git push && git push --tags`
-1. (Manual for now): go to the [releases] page, edit the release with rough changelog (especially note any breaking changes!) and upload the release artifact from `rules_nodejs-[version].tar.gz`. Also copy the release notes from CHANGELOG.md
-1. Re-deprecate npm packages, since publishing causes them to become un-deprecated:
-  - `npm --otp=123456 deprecate @bazel/typescript 'No longer maintained, https://github.com/aspect-build/rules_ts is the recommended replacement'`
-1. Announce the release on Bazel slack in `#javascript
-
-[releases]: https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_nodejs/releases
+1. Determine the next release version, following semver (could automate in the future from changelog)
+2. Tag the repo and push it (or create a tag in GH UI)
+3. Watch the automation run on GitHub actions
