+Generate Gerbers:
+1. File > "Fabrication Outputs" -> "Gerbers (.gbr)"
+1. Output directory: `gerbers/`
+1. Include layers:
+    - F.Cu
+    - B.Cu
+    - F.Paste
+    - B.Paste
+    - F.SilkScreen
+    - B.SilkScreen

+    - Edge.Cuts
+    - F.Courtyard
+    - B.Courtyard
+    - F.Fab
+    - B.Fab
+1. Check boxes in General Options
+    - Plot reference designators
+    - Check zone fills before plotting
+    - Substract soldermask from silkscreen
+1. Click "Plot"
+1. Check the gerber files `*.gbr` in `gerbers` folder
+
+Generate Drill Files:
+1. Click "Generate Drill Files"
+    1. Drill file format: Excellon > Oval holes Drill Mode: User route command (Recommended)
+    1. Drill origin > Absolute
+    1. Drill units > Millimeters
+    1. Zeros Format > Decimal format (recommended)
+    1. Map file format > Postscript
+1. Click "Generate Drill Files"
+1. Close the dialog
+1. Check the drill files `*.drl` in `gerbers` folder
+
+Generate Position file:
+1. Place > Drill / File origin
+1. File > Fabrication Outputs > Component placement (.pos)
+1. Output directory: `gerbers/`
+1. Click "Generate Position File"
+1. Check *.pos file in `gerbers` folder
+
+Compress and ZIP the `gerbers` folder and create a git tag with the version number.
+1. Rename `gerbers` zip folder to project-gerbers-V1.0.0.zip
+1. Create a git tag with the version number
+    ```
+    git tag -a V1.0.0 -m "Release V1.0.0"
