-# Deployment Guide
-
-## Modern Approach (Recommended): GitHub Actions
-
-The package uses automated GitHub Actions for releases.
-
-### Process:
-
-1. **Create a release on GitHub:**
-   ```bash
-   git tag v0.1.73
-   git push origin v0.1.73
-   ```
-
-2. **Create GitHub Release:**
-   - Go to GitHub → Releases → "Create a new release"
-   - Choose the tag you just created
-   - Write release notes
-   - Click "Publish release"
-
-3. **Automatic deployment:**
-   - GitHub Actions will automatically:
-     - Update version based on commit count
-     - Build the package
-     - Run tests
-     - Publish to PyPI
-
-### Configuration:
-
-The workflow is in `.github/workflows/publish.yml`
-
-**Required secrets** (configure in GitHub Settings → Secrets):
-- PyPI now uses trusted publishers - no token needed!
-- Configure at: https://pypi.org/manage/account/publishing/
-
-## Legacy Approach: Manual Script
-
-For manual releases, you can use `deploy.py`:
-
-### Prerequisites:
-
-```bash
-pip install build twine
-```
-
-### Steps:
-
-1. **Run the deployment script:**
-   ```bash
-   python deploy.py
-   ```
-
-2. **The script will:**
-   - Count git commits for version
-   - Update setup.py and __init__.py
-   - Build distribution files
-   - Ask for confirmation
-   - Upload to PyPI
-
-### First time setup:
-
-Create `~/.pypirc`:
-```ini
-[pypi]
-username = __token__
-password = pypi-YOUR-TOKEN-HERE
-```
-
-## Version Scheme
-
-The package uses an automatic versioning scheme:
-
-```
-MAJOR.MINOR.MICRO
-```
-
-- **MAJOR**: Set manually in `setup.py` (breaking changes)
-- **MINOR**: Set manually in `setup.py` (new features)
-- **MICRO**: Auto-generated from git commit count
-
-Example: `0.1.325` means version 0.1 with 325 total commits
-
-## Testing Before Release
-
-Always test locally before deploying:
-
-```bash
-# Run all tests
-pytest tests/ -v
-
-# Check coverage
-pytest tests/ --cov=contractions
-
-# Run linting
-ruff check .
-mypy contractions/ tests/
-
-# Build locally to test
-python -m build
-```
-
-## Rollback
-
-If a release has issues:
-
-1. Delete the git tag:
-   ```bash
-   git tag -d v0.1.73
-   git push origin :refs/tags/v0.1.73
-   ```
-
-2. Fix the issue and create a new release
