-### Information about each file
+  1. Update `CHANGES.md` to reflect changes since the last release and set the correct version number for the new release at the top of the file.
+  1. Update the version number in `setup.py`.
+  1. [Create a new GitHub release](https://github.com/blab/pathogen-embed/releases/new), setting the same version number as above as the release tag and, optionally, generating release notes automatically.
+  When you select "Publish release", GitHub Actions will run the [publish workflow](https://github.com/blab/pathogen-embed/blob/main/.github/workflows/publish.yml) which uses [the pypi-publish action](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/pypi-publish) to create a new release on PyPI for you.
+  1. Create a pull request to bump the version of [the corresponding Bioconda package](https://github.com/bioconda/bioconda-recipes/blob/master/recipes/pathogen-embed/meta.yaml).
