 # How to Contribute
 
-Jest is one of Facebook's open-source projects that is both under very active development and is also being used to ship code to everybody on [Facebook.com](https://www.facebook.com). We're still working out the kinks to make contributing to this project as easy and transparent as possible, but we're not quite there yet. Hopefully, this document makes the process for contributing clear and answers some questions that you may have.

 ### Workflow and Pull Requests
 
-The core team will be monitoring for pull requests. When we get one, we'll run some Facebook-specific integration tests on it first. From here, we'll need to get another person to sign off on the changes and then merge the pull request. For API changes we may need to fix internal uses, which could cause some delays. We'll do our best to provide updates and feedback throughout the process.

+## Publishing a new release
+
+This project uses [`lerna-lite`](https://github.com/lerna-lite/lerna-lite) to publish to npm. To publish a new release, run:
+
+```sh
+$ yarn lerna publish
+```
+
+This will prompt you for which versions to release.
+
+After the release is published, you can create a new release on GitHub with the release notes (copied from [CHANGELOG.md](./CHANGELOG.md)).
+
+In order to publish a pre-release, the same steps apply, but you need to specify some extra flags:
+
+```sh
+$ yarn lerna publish *version-number* --preid alpha --pre-dist-tag next --dist-tag next
+```
+
+Where `version-number` is e.g. `30.0.0-alpha.5`.
