    ```bash
-   git tag v1.0.0
+   ./scripts/create-release.sh
+   # Or with a specific version:
+   ./scripts/create-release.sh v1.0.0
+   ```
+   This interactive script validates the version, creates a tag, and pushes it.
+
+2. **Using Git tags**:
+   ```bash
+   git tag -a v1.0.0 -m "Release v1.0.0"
    git push origin v1.0.0
    ```

    - Go to Actions → Create Release
    - Click "Run workflow"
    - Enter the version (e.g., `v1.0.0`)
