+Release Selector
+================
+
+This command configures the tree in preparation for doing a staging release,
+and pushes the result to try. The changes that that are made include:
+
+- Updating the version number.
+- Applying the migrations that are done as part of merge day.
+- Disabling repacking most locales. (This can be disabled by passing ``--no-limit-locales``).
+
+For staging a beta release, run the following (with an appropriate version number):
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ $ mach try release --version 64.0b5 --migration central-to-beta
+
+For staging a final release (rc or patch), run the following (with an appropriate version number)
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ $ mach try release --version 64.0 --migration central-to-beta --migration beta-to-release
+
+Once the decision task is on the push is complete, you can start the release
+through `staging ship-it instance <https://shipit.staging.mozilla-releng.net/new>`_\ [#shipit]_.
+
+.. note::
+
+ If pushing from beta or release, the corresponding migration should not be
+ passed, as they have already been applied.
+
+.. [#shipit] This is only available to release engineering and release management (as of 2018-10-15).
