## Releasing an update

We're using tags and releases to track milestones in book updates.

The release script builds the project, moves the built files into
 `/release`, and bumps the git tag:

    $ bin/release

Build a zip to upload to Gumroad and attach it to the GitHub release:

    $ bin/build-zip

## Updating the sample.pdf

Build and upload to <http://thoughtbot.com/testing-rails-sample.pdf> by
  updating the website repo (samples are in public/).
