The trick for tooling is usually to find the blog post where the newest major version of the tooling was announced. Such a blog post will almost always contain a demonstration of what idiomatic use of the tooling looks like now. (Because, if it didn’t, how would anyone get started using it?)
This is also the domain of the more extensive language tutorials and/or “Learn X” books. Elixir’s website’s getting-started docs have a very good section on using Mix, for example, including `mix release`.
(People tend to forget to re-check an ecosystem’s official getting-started docs as new tools are introduced into the ecosystem. I’d encourage everyone to give your favourite language’s docs a quick skim every year or two; something new might jump out at you!)
