 1. On the `main` branch make the last feature commits and ensure that all
    tests pass.
 2. Update the release number in `CMakeLists.txt` and commit.
+  - To commit directly, use the command line
 3. Update the `stable` branch to this commit in `main`.
+  - e.g., `git branch -f stable main`
 4. Make a tag, following a semantic versioning scheme `vA.B.C`.
-  - Use an *annotated* tag, add brief release notes in the annotation.
+  - e.g., `git tag -a v3.1.0`
+  - This is an *annotated* tag - add brief release notes in the annotation.
 5. Push changes to GitHub.
+  - `git push origin tag v3.1.0`
+  - Again, from command line to bypass normal branch protection
 6. Prepare a binary tarball of the static build to add to the release:
+  - On AlamaLinux install the packages `glibc-static` and `libstdc++-static`
   - `cmake -DBUILD_STATIC=ON <PATH_TO_SOURCES>`
+  - By hand, strip the `prmon` binary to reduce its size
   - `make package`
   - Use the `tar.gz` archive.
 6. In GitHub go to releases, *Draft a new release*.
 7. Select the new tag.
 8. Add release notes as needed.
+  - Github does a good job of generating changelogs now, so just add major
+  items at the top of the notes
 9. Add the binary tarball to the release.
