+# Release Process
+
+This project has two GitHub Actions workflows for building and releasing the TodoApp JAR file.
+
+## CI Workflow (maven.yml)
+
+Runs on every push to `main` branch and on pull requests:
+- Builds the project with Maven
+- Uploads the JAR file as a workflow artifact
+- Artifacts are available for download from the Actions tab
+
+## Release Workflow (release.yml)
+
+Triggers when a version tag is pushed (tags starting with `v`, e.g., `v1.0.0`, `v2.1.3`):
+- Builds the project with Maven
+- Creates a GitHub Release
+- Attaches the JAR file to the release
+- Generates release notes automatically
+
+### Creating a Release
+
+To create a new release:
+
+1. Tag your commit with a version number:
+   ```bash
+   git tag v1.0.0
+   git push origin v1.0.0
+   ```
+
+2. The workflow will automatically:
+   - Build the JAR file
+   - Create a GitHub Release with the tag
+   - Upload the JAR to the release
+
+3. The release will be visible at: `https://github.com/gxtm/FileHandler/releases`
+
+### JAR File Details
+
+- **Artifact Name**: `TodoApp-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar`
+- **Main Class**: `me.gixu.Main`
+- **Java Version**: 17
+
+### Running the JAR
+
+After downloading the JAR from a release, run it with:
+```bash
+java -jar TodoApp-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
+```
