+# Developing
+
+## Requirements
+
+Getting started to develop Registry Scanner shouldn't be too hard. All that
+is required is a simple build toolchain, consisting of:
+
+* Golang
+* GNU make
+* Docker (for building images, optional)
+* Kustomize (for building K8s manifests, optional)
+
+## Makefile targets
+
+Most steps in the development process are scripted in the `Makefile`, the most
+important targets are:
+
+* `all` - this is the default target, and will run `golangci-lint` to ensure code is linted correctly and run all the unit tests.
+
+* `lint` - this will run `golangci-lint` and ensure code is linted correctly.
+
+* `test` - this will run all the unit tests
+
+
+## Sending Pull Requests
+
+To send a pull request, simply fork the
+[GitHub repository](https://github.com/argoproj-labs/argocd-image-updater)
+to your GitHub account, create a new branch, commit & push your changes and then
+send the PR over for review. Changes should be
+[signed off](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit#Documentation/git-commit.txt--s)
+and committed with `-s` or `--signoff` options to meet
+[Developer Certificate of Origin](https://probot.github.io/apps/dco/) requirement.
+
+When developing new features or fixing bugs, please make sure that your code is
+accompanied by appropriate unit tests. If you are fixing a bug, please also
+include a unit test for that specific bug.
+
+Also, please make sure that your code is correctly linted.

+# Releasing
+
+Registry Scanner is released in a 1 step automated fashion. The release process takes about 5 minutes.
+
+Releases can only be done by people that have write/commit access on the Argo Image Updater GitHub repository.
+
+## Introduction
+
+First install on your workstation the following:
+
+1. GoLang 
+1. The `git` executable
+1. The [GitHub CLI](https://cli.github.com/)
+1. The `semver` cli with `go install github.com/davidrjonas/semver-cli@latest`
+
+Then create a release branch and cd to the submodule:
+
+```bash
+git clone git@github.com:argoproj-labs/argocd-image-updater.git
+git checkout -b registry-scanner/release-0.13
+git push origin registry-scanner/release-0.13
+```
+
+The release name is just an example. You should use the next number from the [previous release](https://github.com/argoproj-labs/argocd-image-updater/releases). Make sure that the branch is named as `registry-scanner/release-X.XX` though.
+
+!!!Note:
+`TARGET_VERSION` is the version we want to release for registry-scanner module.
+
+Also note that `origin` is just an example. It should be the name of your remote that holds the upstream branch of Argo Image updater repository.
+
+Finally run
+
+```bash
+cd registry-scanner
+./hack/create-release-pr.sh ${TARGET_VERSION} ${REMOTE}
+```
+
+e.g.:
+```bash
+cd registry-scanner
+./hack/create-release-pr.sh 0.1.0 origin
+```
+
+You are finished!
+
+
+
+
