+```
+
+Then:
+
+1. Define `CERC_GH_RELEASE_SCRIPTS_DIR`
+1. Define `CERC_PACKAGE_RELEASE_GITHUB_TOKEN`
+1. Run `./scripts/tag_new_release.sh <major> <minor> <patch>`
+1. Run `./scripts/build_shiv_package.sh`
+1. Run `./scripts/publish_shiv_package_github.sh <major> <minor> <patch>`
+1. Commit the new version file.
+
+e.g.
+
+```
+$ export CERC_GH_RELEASE_SCRIPTS_DIR=~/projects/cerc/github-release-api/
