+```
+sshtunnel version
+```

+This will display the current version of sshtunnel along with build information.
+
+Options:
+- `-c, --check-updates`: Check for updates against the latest release

 3. Validate all recorded tunnels and their current state
 4. Show active SSH tunnel processes and their status
 
+### Version information
+
+```
+sshtunnel version --check-updates
+```
+
+This displays version information and checks for updates to the tool. 
+
+When a new version is available, you'll get instructions on how to update.
+
+### Shell completion
+
+Generate shell completion scripts:
+
+```
+# Bash
+sshtunnel completion bash > ~/.bash_completion.d/sshtunnel
+source ~/.bash_completion.d/sshtunnel
+
+# Zsh
+sshtunnel completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_sshtunnel"

+```
+# Bash (Linux)
+sudo sshtunnel completion bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/sshtunnel
+
+# Bash (macOS with Homebrew)
+sshtunnel completion bash > $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/sshtunnel
+```
+
+## Development
+
+### Release Process
+
+The project includes a release script to help manage version tags:
+
+```
+./bin/scripts/release.sh
+```
+
+This script will:
+1. Find the latest version tag
+2. Suggest the next patch version (e.g., v1.0.0 → v1.0.1)
+3. Allow you to accept this suggestion or enter a custom version
+4. Create and push the new tag
+5. Update the "latest" tag to point to the new version
+
 ## How it works
 
 The tool creates SSH tunnels using the system's SSH client and manages them by tracking their process IDs in a hidden directory (`~/.sshtunnels/`). Each tunnel is assigned a unique ID for easy management. Traffic statistics are collected and stored to help you monitor data transfer through your tunnels.
