+# Pure Deployment Checklist
+
+These are the steps formally used to publish a new version of Pure.
+
+For all of these steps, replace `1.0.0` with the correct version!
+
+## Prerequisite
+
+This assumes the following repo's are cloned and `npm` installed:
+
+- https://github.com/pure-css/pure
+- https://github.com/pure-css/pure-site
+- https://github.com/pure-css/pure-release
+
+You will also need `bower` installed globally.
+
+## First, check everything
+
+- [ ] **Update local Pure to latest from pure-css/pure#master**
+
+    ```
+    $ cd pure/
+    $ git pull upstream master
+    ```
+
+- [ ] **Build Pure via `grunt`**
+
+    ```
+    $ grunt
+    ```
+
+- [ ] **Review all src/.../tests/manual/ files in target environments, including:**
+
+    - [ ] IE 10
+    - [ ] IE 11
+    - [ ] Edge
+    - [ ] Chrome
+    - [ ] Firefox
+    - [ ] Safari
+    - [ ] iOS 10.x
+    - [ ] Android 4.x
+    - [ ] Android 5.x
+
+- [ ] **Review pure-site in target environments with [Pure served locally](https://github.com/pure-css/pure-site/blob/master/README.md#running-with-pure-served-locally)**
+
+    - [ ] IE 10
+    - [ ] IE 11
+    - [ ] Edge
+    - [ ] Chrome
+    - [ ] Firefox
+    - [ ] Safari
+    - [ ] iOS 10.x
+    - [ ] Android 4.x
+    - [ ] Android 5.x
+
+- [ ] **Review HISTORY.md**
+
+    https://github.com/pure-css/pure/blob/master/HISTORY.md
+
+    Make sure all the major changes since the last release of Pure are reflected in HISTORY.md entries.
+
+## Prepare repos for release
+
+### Pure repo
+
+- [ ] **Bump versions**
+
+    It should have already been determined whether this is a minor or patch version release. Update Pure's version number to the new version in the following places. You'll likely be dropping a "-pre" suffix which was in place during the last development cycle. Do not use a "v" in the version (e.g., 1.0.0):
+
+    - [ ] bower.json
+    - [ ] package.json
+    - [ ] HISTORY.md (Update "NEXT")
+    - [ ] README.md (x2 CDN URLs)
+
+- [ ] **Build Pure release files via `grunt release`**
+
+    Using Grunt, create the release/[version]/pure-[version].tar.gz file:
+
+    ```
+    $ grunt release
+    ```
+
+    **Note:** If the build fails it's for a good reason, most likely because there's code which is not passing CSSLint. We should always fix these issues and never force a release.
+
+### Pure-release repo
+
+- [ ] **Update the pure-release repo**
+
+    This repo is used by Bower. It must be updated and released (and hence tagged).
+
+    - [ ] **Drop the Readme, History, and all build/*.css files into the pure-release repo**
+    - [ ] **Commit and push the changes to the pure-release repo**
+    - [ ] **git tag vX.X.X** and push to origin
+
+## Publish pure to NPM
+
+From the `pure` repo run the following command to publish Pure to NPM. This will ensure `unpkg.com` CDN gets the new files.
+
+```
+npm publish .
+```
+
+Verify via https://unpkg.com/purecss@VERSION
+
+
+## Draft releases on Github
+
+- [ ] **Draft a new release on [GitHub](https://github.com/pure-css/pure/releases) for all three repos,** using "v" in the version number (e.g., v1.0.0). Drafts are invisible to the public. Once these are published, the repos will be visible, and they will be tagged. **Don't publish them just yet.**
+
+    - [ ] **pure**
+    - [ ] **pure-release**
+    - [ ] **pure-site** (**Note:** pure-site has its own version number)
+
+## Publishing the pure-site
+
+**NOTE: The pure-site is currently hosted on Now.sh.**
+
+Let's review where we're at:
+
+* All the repos are checked and ready.
+* The build files are on the CDN.
+* We're ready to publish release notes and tag our repos by publishing the draft releases using GitHub.
+* Then we'll build the pure-site and check it.
+* Then we can deploy the pure-site to where the public can see it.
+
+- [ ] **Update Pure Version in pure-css/pure-site**
+
+    Bump the version number to the new Pure version in package.json.
+
+- [ ] **Commit those changes**
+
+- [ ] **Publish pure-release**
+
+    From the [pure-release repo](https://github.com/pure-css/pure-release/releases), publish the release you drafted earlier. Otherwise Bower won't be able to take advantage of the version number you just updated, because pure-release won't yet have the tag.
+
+- [ ] **Git push changes to pure-css/pure-site#master**
+
+    The local changes that were done to update the website for the release needs to be pushed back up to pure-css/pure-site#master on GitHub.com:
+
+    ```
+    $ git push upstream master
+    ```
+
+- [ ] **Test pure-site on Now host**
+
+    ```
+    $ now .
+    ```
+
+- [ ] **Publish pure-site release** If everything is looking good, you can publish the [release of pure-site](https://github.com/pure-css/pure-site/releases) on GitHub.
+
+## Promote pure-site to Now alias
+
+    ```
+    $ now alias set <new pure deployment> purecss.io
+    ```
+
+## Formally publish Pure
+
+Now all our files are out there, the pure-release release is published, the pure-site release is published, and everything is looking good.
+
+- [ ] **Publish pure**
+
+    From the [pure repo](https://github.com/pure-css/pure/releases), publish the release. This will tag the repo and signal to the public that the new Pure release is complete.
+
+## Spread the word
+
+- [ ] **Write blog post**
+- [ ] **Tweet**
+
+## Mark repo as pre-release
+
+- [ ] We should mark the version number of the project (in package.json and bower.json) as 0.6.1-pre for clarity, so there's no mistaking the leading edge of the project from the last release. Commit those changes and push to master.
