 ### Dev Commands
 
 Many useful commands are in [the root makefile](Makefile). 
-We use make as a convenient interface to automate a bunch of commands like codebase linting, running tests, running dev binary, etc.
-Be sure to take a look at all available commands.
+
+> [!Warning]
+> Windows doesn't come with `make` installed. You need to install it via [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/), for example:
+> ```powershell
+> choco install make
+> ```
+
+We use make as a convenient interface to automate a bunch of commands like:
+- codebase linting via `make lint`
+- running tests via `make test`
+- running dev binary `make run`
+- etc.
+
+Be sure to take a look at all available commands via running `make` (from the project root directory).
 
 ### CI Checks
 
 All important checks are automated on the level of pull request checks. 
 Be sure to keep your PRs green, before moving the PR to the review stage.
 
+#### build:dry-run
+
+The Glide repository has a special `build:dry-run` label that allows to run the release workflow without actually publishing Glide artefacts. 
+This is helpful for:
+- testing image building
+- making sure any changes to the release workflow works fine
