+### Tips
+
+Commits must be formatted according to the [Conventional Commits Specification](https://www.conventionalcommits.org).
+
+Always try to include a test case! If it is not possible or not necessary,
+please explain why in the pull request description.
+
+### Releasing
+
+Commits that would precipitate a SemVer change, as desrcibed in the Conventional
+Commits Specification, will trigger [`release-please`](https://github.com/google-github-actions/release-please-action)
+to create a release candidate pull request. Once submitted, `release-please`
+will create a release.
+
+For tips on how to work with `release-please`, see its documentation.
