 If the GitHub Actions release fails because of a transient problem like a timeout, you can re-run the job from the Actions console.
 If it fails because of something that needs to be fixed, remove the release tag (if needed), fix the problem, then start over.

+## Synchronizing subtree changes
+`rust-analyzer` is a [josh](https://josh-project.github.io/josh/intro.html) subtree of the [rust-lang/rust](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust)
+repository. We use the [rustc-josh-sync](https://github.com/rust-lang/josh-sync) tool to perform synchronization between these two
+repositories. You can find documentation of the tool [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/josh-sync?tab=readme-ov-file#performing-pull).
+
+You can install the synchronization tool using the following commands:
+```
+cargo install --locked --git https://github.com/rust-lang/josh-sync
+```
+
+Both pulls (synchronize changes from rust-lang/rust into rust-analyzer) and pushes (synchronize
+changes from rust-analyzer to rust-lang/rust) are performed from this repository.
+
+Usually we first perform a pull, wait for it to be merged, and then perform a push.
+
+### Performing a pull
+1) Checkout a new branch that will be used to create a PR into rust-analyzer
+2) Run the pull command
+    ```
+    rustc-josh-sync pull
+    ```
+3) Push the branch to your fork of `rust-analyzer` and create a PR
+  - If you have `gh` CLI installed, `rustc-josh-sync` can create the PR for you.
+
+### Performing a push
+
+Wait for the previous pull to be merged.
+
+1) Switch to `master` and pull
+2) Run the push command to create a branch named `<branch-name>` in a `rustc` fork under the `<gh-username>` account
+    ```
+    rustc-josh-sync push <branch-name> <gh-username>
+    ```
+   - The push will ask you to download a checkout of the `rust-lang/rust` repository.
+   - If you get prompted for a password, see [this](https://github.com/rust-lang/josh-sync?tab=readme-ov-file#git-peculiarities).
+3) Create a PR from `<branch-name>` into `rust-lang/rust`
+
+> Besides the `rust` checkout, the Josh cache (stored under `~/.cache/rustc-josh`) will contain a bare clone of `rust-lang/rust`. This currently takes several GBs.
