 ## Cutting release branches
 
+### `pytorch/pytorch`
+
 Release branches are typically cut from the branch [`viable/strict`](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/tree/viable/strict) as to ensure that tests are passing on the release branch.
 
-Release branches *should* be prefixed like so:
-```
-release/{MAJOR}.{MINOR}
-```
+There's a convenience script to create release branches from current `viable/strict` (from root `pytorch/pytorch`):
 
-An example of this would look like:
+```bash
+DRY_RUN=disabled scripts/release/cut-release-branch.sh
 ```
-release/1.8
+
+This script should create 2 branches:
+* `release/{MAJOR}.{MINOR}`
+* `orig/release/{MAJOR}.{MINOR}`
+
+### `pytorch/builder` / PyTorch domain libraries
+
+Convenience script can also be used domains as well as `pytorch/builder`
+
+> NOTE: RELEASE_VERSION only needs to be specified if version.txt is not available in root directory
+
+```bash
+DRY_RUN=disabled GIT_BRANCH_TO_CUT_FROM=main RELEASE_VERSION=1.11 scripts/release/cut-release-branch.sh
 ```
 
-Please make sure to create branch that pins divergent point of release branch from the main branch, i.e. `orig/release/{MAJOR}.{MINOR}`
 ### Making release branch specific changes
 
 These are examples of changes that should be made to release branches so that CI / tooling can function normally on
 them:
 
-* Update target determinator to use release branch:
-  * Example: https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/pull/40712
 * Update backwards compatibility tests to use RC binaries instead of nightlies
   * Example: https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/pull/40706
 * A release branches should also be created in [`pytorch/xla`](https://github.com/pytorch/xla) and [`pytorch/builder`](https://github.com/pytorch/builder) repos and pinned in `pytorch/pytorch`

 ### Getting CI signal on release branches:
+
 Create a PR from `release/{MAJOR}.{MINOR}` to `orig/release/{MAJOR}.{MINOR}` in order to start CI testing for cherry-picks into release branch.
