+## Cutting a new release
+
+- Sign in to Bintray (https://bintray.com/login) or create an "Open Source" account (https://bintray.com/signup/oss)
+- Check if you have a repository named `sbt-plugins`. If not, create it (Name: sbt-plugins, Type: Generic).
+- Make sure the current `HEAD` is a tagged revision. In sbt, `version` (set by sbt-git) should be according to a tag.
+
+      > version
+      [info] 1.0.6
+
+- Run `publish` in sbt. If you don't have a `~/.bintray/.credentials` file, the sbt-bintray plugin will ask you for your
+  username and API key. The API key can be obtained under "Edit Profile" (https://bintray.com/profile/edit). The sbt-bintray
+  plugin saves credentials to `~/.bintray/.credentials` for future use.
+- If you haven't done so before, add your package for this plugin (https://bintray.com/YOUR_USERNAME/sbt-plugins/scala-module-plugin)
+  to the community sbt repository (https://bintray.com/sbt/sbt-plugin-releases). Otherwise you're done, the release is available.
+  - Check if you added your package by searching for "scala-module-plugin" in the repository.
+  - If you cannot find your package, click "Include My Package"
+  - Search for your plugin (`scala-module-plugin`)
+  - Click "Send" to send the request
+
