+As a person contributing code but not creating production releases (this is most people!), here's what you need to know:
 * The default branch is `develop`. All pull requests should be made to this branch. It should be stable, and all commits are visible at a staging sever.
 * When working on a bug or feature, you should branch from the `develop` branch. When you're done, you should open a pull request from your feature branch to `develop`.
 * The `release` branch is the live production branch, and is the code deployed to editor.p5js.org. Changes to this branch should be made carefully, and will be done using git tags.

 ## Steps
+1. `$ git checkout develop`
+2. `$ git checkout -b release-<newversion>`
+3. Do all of the release branch testing necessary. This could be as simple as running `npm test:ci`, or it could take user testing over a few days. 
+4. `$ git checkout release`
+5. `$ git merge --no-ff release-<newversion>`
+6. `$ npm version <newversion>` (see [npm-version](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/version) for valid values of <newversion>).
+7. `$ git push && git push --tags`
+8. `$ git checkout develop`
+9. `$ git merge --no-ff release-<newversion>`
+
+Travis CI will automatically deploy the release to production, as well as push a production tagged Docker image to DockerHub.
