+# Shipping an Octokit Release
+
+## Pre-requisites
+
+ - Visual Studio 2013 Update 4
+ - Debugging Tools for Windows (install via [Chocolatey](http://chocolatey.org) - `cinst windbg`)
+
+### Running Tests
+
+Due to how long it takes to run the integration tests, I usually run these in groups in Visual Studio.
+
+If, however, you still want to do this, it's available from the command line:
+
+> `.\build RunIntegrationTests`
+
+If you want to avoid these tests, or get faster feedback, you can run the other
+tests:
+
+> `.\build RunUnitTests`
+> `.\build RunConventionTests`
+
+### Signing Assemblies
+
+**TODO**
+
+### Create NuGet Packages
+
+To generate the NuGet packages, you also need to setup the SourceLink tools.
+
+Set this globally:
+
+> git config --global core.autocrlf input
+
+**TODO: ** need to reset the working directory to ensure CRLF files are cleared
+
+Once you've done that, just run this:
+
+> `.\build CreatePackages`
+
+This will build the assemblies, index the symbols and create the packages. The
+output .nupkg files will be located in the `packaging` directory.
