 ## Publish
 
-To publish the **Ignition** packages to npm follow the [publishing instructions](./docs/publish.md).
+To publish ignition:
+
+1. git fetch, Checkout out `development`, then ensure your branch is up to date `git pull --ff-only`
+2. Perform a clean install and build (will lose all uncommitted changes) git clean -fdx ., npm install, npm run build
+3. Run a full check, stopping on failure: `npm run fullcheck`
+4. Confirm the commits represent the features for the release
+5. Create a release branch `git checkout -b release/yyyy-mm-dd`
+6. Update the `CHANGELOG.md` under `./packages/core`.
+7. Update the `CHANGELOG.md` under `./packages/hardhat-plugin`.
+8. Update the `CHANGELOG.md` under `./packages/ui`.
+9. Update the package versions based on semver: `npm version --no-git-tag-version --workspaces patch #minor #major`
+10. Update the version of dependencies:
+
+- cores version in hardhat-ui deps
+- cores and uis versions in hardhat-ignition devDeps and peerDeps
+- examples version of hardhat-ignition
+
+11. Commit the version update `git commit`:
+
+```
+chore: bump version to vX.X.X
+
+Update the packages versions and changelogs for the `X.X.X -
+yyyy-mm-dd` release.
+```
+
+12. Push the release branch and open a pull request on `main`, the PR description should match the changelogs
+13. On a successful check, `rebase merge` the release branch into `main`
+14. Switch to main branch and pull the latest changes
+15. Git tag the version, `g tag -a v0.x.x -m "v0.x.x"` and push the tag `git push --follow-tags`
+16. Publish `@nomicfoundation/ignition-core`, `@nomicfoundation/ignition-ui` and `@nomicfoundation/hardhat-ignition` : `npm publish -w @nomicfoundation/ignition-core -w @nomicfoundation/ignition-ui -w @nomicfoundation/hardhat-ignition`
+17. Create a release on github off of the pushed tag

+### Tests
+
+---
+
+#### **Try and deploy a module that doesn't exist**
+
+---
+
+##### <u>_Arrange_</u>
+
+Setup ignition in a new hardhat project based on the getting started guide.
+
+##### <u>_Act_</u>
+
+Run a deploy with a module that doesn't exist
+
+##### <u>_Assert_</u>
+
+Check that a sensible error message is displayed
+
+---
+
+#### **Try and run a module with a validation error**
+
+---
+
+##### <u>_Arrange_</u>
+
+Setup ignition in a new hardhat project based on the getting started guide.
+
+Tweak the module so that it has a problem that will be caught by validation (ADD_MORE_DETAILS_HERE).
+
+##### <u>_Act_</u>
+
+Run a deploy with a invalid module
+
+##### <u>_Assert_</u>
+
+Check that a sensible error message is displayed
+
+---
+
+#### **Deploy to Sepolia testnet**
+
+---
+
+##### <u>_Arrange_</u>
+
+Ensure you have an infura/alchemy RPC endpoint set up for Sepolia as well as an ETH address with Sepolia ETH that you don't mind pasting the privkey in plaintext for. I used metamask
+
+Setup the network settings in the `hardhat.config.js` of the example you want to test
+
+##### <u>_Act_</u>
+
+Run a deploy/test from the example directory you set up
+
+##### <u>_Assert_</u>
+
+Check that deployment was successful, or results match expected (for instance, on-hold for multisig)
