+Releasing a new Debian package
+==============================
+
+0. (optional) Test the build:
+
+               gbp dch --snapshot
+               gbp buildpackage --git-ignore-new
+
+1. Update Debian changelog for the new release:
+
+               git checkout debian/changelog    # remove any snapshots etc. from the changelog
+               gbp dch --release --commit
+
+   This opens an editor, where you can (if needed) change the package
+   version or the changelog entries generated automatically from git
+   commit messages.
+
+2. Build the package:
+
+               gbp buildpackage --git-tag -b -uc -us
+
+   The `-b -uc` options and possibly others are passed to the build
+   tool. You can add `--git-builder=sbuild` if you want to use
+   `sbuild` command to build the package in clean environment. Then
+   use required sbuild options instead of `-b -uc`.
+
+3. Push new commit (change log) and version tag to the server:
+
+               git push --follow-tags
