 # On the day of release
 
 - [ ] Make sure the release branch is in sync with origin/master and has only one squashed commit with all commits from the prepare branch. If you made a PR from the prepare branch into the release branch this should already be the case
   - [ ] `git checkout "${RELEASE_BRANCH}"`
   - [ ] `git show --stat HEAD` - This should show the squashed prepare commit
-  - [ ] `git diff HEAD~1 origin/master --quiet && echo "Same" || echo "Different"` - Should output `Same`

     - [ ] Rebase the release preparation branch on the release branch
       - [ ] Squash the release preparation commits (but not the cherry-picked commits!) to a single
           commit. This makes it easier to cherry-pick to master after the release.

 - Some CI checks run only after we manually approve them.
   - We recommend adding a `pre-push` hook, please see [this template](https://github.com/vectordotdev/vector/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#Pre-push).
   - Alternatively, we recommend running the following locally before pushing to the remote branch:
-    - `cargo fmt --all`
-    - `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`
-    - `cargo nextest run --workspace` (alternatively, you can run `cargo test --all`)
+    - `make fmt`
+    - `make check-clippy` (if there are failures it's possible some of them can be fixed with `make clippy-fix`)
+    - `make test`
 - After a review is requested, please avoid force pushes to help us review incrementally.
   - Feel free to push as many commits as you want. They will be squashed into one before merging.
   - For example, you can run `git merge origin master` and `git push`.
 - If this PR introduces changes Vector dependencies (modifies `Cargo.lock`), please
-  run `cargo vdev build licenses` to regenerate the [license inventory](https://github.com/vectordotdev/vrl/blob/main/LICENSE-3rdparty.csv) and commit the changes (if any). More details [here](https://crates.io/crates/dd-rust-license-tool).
