+# Releasing DevTools
+
+To release DevTools, do the following steps (in order):
+1. [Prepare a release](#prepare-a-release)
+2. [Build and test a release](#build-and-test-a-release)
+3. [Publish a release](#publish-a-release)
+
+Each of the scripts can be run with a `--dry` flag to test without committing or publishing any changes.
+
+### Prepare a release
+To increment version numbers and update the [CHANGELOG](https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/main/packages/react-devtools/CHANGELOG.md), run the `prepare-release` script:
+```sh
+./prepare-release.js
+```
+
+You'll need to follow the instructions at the end of the script to push the committed changes to the main fork on GitHub.
+
+### Build and test a release
+To build and test a release, run the `build-and-test` script:
+```sh
+./build-and-test.js
+```
+
+### Publish a release
+To publish a release to NPM, run the `publish-release` script:
+```sh
+./publish-release.js
+```
+
+You'll need to follow the instructions at the end of the script to upload the extension to Chrome, Edge, and Firefox stores.
