 ## Usage
 
@@ -15,6 +16,50 @@ See individual action directory for details on usage and examples.
 - [Go Build artifact](../go_build_artifact) - builds golang binary and outputs build tag
 - [Go Test and Lint](../go_test_and_lint) - runs golang tests, and lints with golangci-lint
 - [Push Docker GCR](../push_docker_gcr) - creates docker file from repo's Dockerfile, pushed using supplied build tag
+- [Publish DX DORA Metrics](../publish_dx_dora_metrics) - publishes deployment metrics to DX for DORA tracking
+
+## Versioning
+
+This repository follows [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/). When using these actions in workflows:
+- **Recommended:** `@v1` - automatically get non-breaking updates (patches and minor versions)
+- **Pinned:** `@v1.0.0` - pin to a specific release version
+- **Unstable:** `@main` - use latest code (not recommended for production)
+
+### Creating Releases
+
+For maintainers releasing new versions:
+
+1. **Merge changes to main**
+2. **Run the release script:**
+   ```bash
+   ./scripts/set-release-tag.sh v1.2.3
+   ```
+   The script will:
+   - Validate you're on `main` with a clean working tree
+   - Show the current latest version
+   - Validate the new version is greater than the current version
+   - Create and push both the version tag (`v1.2.3`) and major tag (`v1`)
+
+> **⚠️ Important:** The release script only validates version format and ordering. **You are responsible for:**
+> - Reviewing the changes since the last release
+> - Determining if the version bump is appropriate (major/minor/patch)
+> - Ensuring breaking changes are properly documented
+> - Verifying all actions work as expected
+>
+> The script is a safeguard against simple mistakes, not a substitute for careful release management.
+
+**Manual alternative:**
+   ```bash
+   git tag v1.0.0
+   git push origin v1.0.0
+   git tag -f v1
+   git push -f origin v1
+   ```
+
+**Versioning Guidelines:**
+- **Major (v2.0.0):** Breaking changes to inputs, outputs, or behavior
+- **Minor (v1.1.0):** New features, backward-compatible changes
+- **Patch (v1.0.1):** Bug fixes, documentation updates

+# Publish DX DORA Metrics (Trunk-Based)
+
+Publishes deployment metrics to DX (ecobee.getdx.net) for trunk-based development workflows where code is committed directly to the main branch and deployed.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+**Required Secret:** `DX_API_TOKEN` is configured as a GitHub organizational secret.
+
+This secret is managed centrally by the SRE team and is automatically available to all repositories in the ecobee organization.
+
+## Usage
+
+```yaml
+- name: Publish DORA metrics
+  uses: ecobee/github-actions/publish_dx_dora_metrics_trunk_based@v1
+  continue-on-error: true
+  env:
+    DX_API_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.DX_API_TOKEN }}
+  with:
+    repository: 'ecobee/my-service'
+    service: 'my-service'
+    # Optional: defaults to 'production' - only needed for testing
+    environment: 'staging'
+```
+
+> **Note:** Use `@v1` for the latest stable version, `@v1.0.0` to pin to a specific release, or `@main` for the latest (unstable) version.
+> 
+> **Important:** Use `continue-on-error: true` to prevent metrics tracking failures from blocking deployments.
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Input | Description | Required | Default |
+|-------|-------------|----------|---------|
+| `repository` | Repository identifier (e.g., `ecobee/service-name`) | Yes | - |
+| `environment` | Deployment environment | No | `production` |
+| `service` | Service identifier | Yes | - |
+
+> **Note:** The action automatically extracts the commit timestamp from git for change lead time tracking. 
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Description | Required | Source |
+|----------|-------------|----------|--------|
+| `DX_API_TOKEN` | DX API token for authentication | Yes | GitHub organizational secret |
+
+## Example Workflow
+
+```yaml
+name: Deploy to Production
+
+on:
+  push:
+    branches:
+      - main
+
+jobs:
+  deploy:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      
+      # ... your deployment steps ...
+      
+      - name: Publish deployment metrics
+        uses: ecobee/github-actions/publish_dx_dora_metrics_trunk_based@v1
+        continue-on-error: true
+        env:
+          DX_API_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.DX_API_TOKEN }}
+        with:
+          repository: 'ecobee/my-service'
+          service: 'my-service'
+```
+
+## Versioning
+
+This action follows [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/). When integrating:
+- Use `@v1` to automatically get non-breaking updates (recommended)
+- Use `@v1.0.0` to pin to a specific release
+- Avoid `@main` in production workflows (unstable)
+
+## Security Notes
+
+- The `DX_API_TOKEN` is **never** passed as an action input to prevent accidental exposure in logs
+- The token is configured as a GitHub organizational secret, managed centrally by the SRE team
+- The action will fail explicitly if the token is not available
+- Never commit tokens or credentials to the repository
