+# Garden Linux Builder CI Workflows
+
+## `build.yml`
+
+Build container images on all branches.
+
+For pushes on the `main` branch, tags based on the git sha are created and pushed to the container registry and a pseudo-release called `latest` is updated on GitHub.
+This allows users to follow a rolling-release approach if they desire.
+
+## `release.yml`
+
+Tag container images and create GitHub Releases.
+This workflow only runs on demand (workflow dispatch).
+It should be run if a new release is desired.
+The workflow dispatch needs a parameter `component` which specifies which version component should be increased.
+This is either `minor` (the default) or `major`.
+`major` should be picked in cases where the new version has breaking changes (for example between the `build` script and the container image).
