+Copy [release-template.conf](release-template.conf) to

+TODO explain how to get Apple code signing secrets.

+## Install Dependencies
 
 ```shell
 npm install -g release-it @release-it/conventional-changelog @release-it/bumper dotenv-cli
 ```
 
-3. Run `release-it`:
+# Release!
+
+1. It is recommended that you do this from a fresh clone, so that no
+   development artifacts find their way into a production build.
+2. Do not run `release-it` directly, instead use the npm script from
+   the top level of this repository.
 
 ```shell
-release-it
+npm run release
 ```
