## Description

This project is a command line deployment tool designed to automate the process of publishing React application builds to GitHub Pages. It functions as a static site deployer that handles the transition of a project from a local development environment to a live production URL.

The tool streamlines the deployment workflow by compiling source code into static assets and pushing those production-ready files to a dedicated remote git branch. This git-driven distribution ensures that the build artifacts are hosted on a public server without requiring a manual upload process.

The system manages the production build pipeline and handles the configuration of hosting paths to ensure correct asset routing on the public server.
