The [Gutenberg repository](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg) on GitHub is used to perform several types of releases. This document serves as a checklist for each of these releases, and it can help you understand the different workflows involved.

Before you begin, there are some requirements that must be met in order to successfully release a stable version of the Gutenberg plugin. Both [plugin releases](https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/contributors/code/release/plugin-release/) and [the publication of packages](https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/contributors/code/release/package-release-and-core-updates/) require the following. You will need to:

- Be a member of the [Gutenberg development team](https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/contributors/repository-management/#teams). This gives you the ability to launch the GitHub actions that are related to the release process and to backport pull requests (PRs) to the release branch.
- Have write permissions on the [Make WordPress Core](https://make.wordpress.org/core) blog. This allows you to draft the release post.
- Obtain approval from a member of the Gutenberg Core team in order to upload the new version Gutenberg to the WordPress.org plugin directory.

Similar requirements apply to releasing WordPress's [npm packages](https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/contributors/code/release/package-release-and-core-updates/).
