+# `deploy` Command
+
+Deploy a Fabric workspace from local source content into a target Microsoft Fabric workspace.
+
+---
+
+## Description
+
+The `deploy` command imports workspace content from a local source into a target Fabric workspace.
+
+You can deploy:
+- an entire workspace
+- specific folders
+- specific items
+
+The scope and behavior of the deployment are defined entirely by the deployment configuration file.
+
+During execution, the command:
+- publishes items found in the source into the target workspace
+- resolves dependencies between items automatically when logical IDs are present
+- removes items from the target workspace that no longer exist in the source (unpublish)
+
+By default, **both publish and unpublish operations are enabled and executed**.  
+To disable either operation for a specific environment, it must be explicitly skipped in the configuration file.
+
+The deployment is executed directly against Fabric workspaces using Fabric APIs.
+
+---
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+fab deploy --config <config_file> [--target_env <environment>] [--params <parameters>] [--force]
+```
+
+---
+
+## Options
+
+| Option | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `--config <file>` | Path to the deployment configuration file. **Required**. |
+| `--target_env, -tenv <env>` | Environment name used to select environment-specific settings from the configuration file. |
+| `--params, -P <params>` | JSON-formatted parameters provided to the deployment process at runtime. |
+| `--force, -f` | Run the deployment without interactive confirmation prompts. |
+| `--help` | Show detailed help for the `deploy` command. |
+
+---
+
+## Configuration Behavior
+
+- The configuration file controls what is published and unpublished.
+- Publish and unpublish operations are enabled by default.
+- Skipping publish or unpublish must be explicitly defined per environment.
+- Environment selection is resolved only when environment mappings are present in the configuration.
+- If `--target_env` is not specified, the configuration must not contain environment-specific mappings.
+
+---
+
+## Configuration File
+
+### Minimal Configuration (No Environments)
+
+```yaml
+core:
+  workspace_id: "12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc"
+  repository_directory: "."
+```
+
+---
+
+### Configuration Fields
+
+| Field | Description | Mandatory |
+|------|------------|-----------|
+| `core.workspace_id` | Target workspace ID (GUID). Takes precedence over `workspace`. | ✅ Yes |
+| `core.workspace` | Target workspace name. Alternative to `workspace_id`. | ❌ No |
+| `core.repository_directory` | Path to local directory containing workspace content. | ✅ Yes |
+| `core.item_types_in_scope` | List of item types included in deployment. | ❌ No |
+| `core.parameter` | Path to parameter file. | ❌ No |
+| `publish` | Controls publishing behavior. | ❌ No |
+| `unpublish` | Controls unpublishing behavior. | ❌ No |
+| `features` | Feature flags. | ❌ No |
+| `constants` | API constant overrides. | ❌ No |
+
+Relative paths are resolved relative to the configuration file location.
+
+---
+
+## Publish and Unpublish Settings
+
+### Publish
+
+```yaml
+publish:
+  exclude_regex: "^DONT_DEPLOY.*"        # Excludes items matching this pattern from publishing
+  folder_exclude_regex: "^legacy/"       # Excludes items under matching folders from publishing
+  items_to_include:                      # Publishes only the specified items (requires feature flags)
+    - "MainNotebook.Notebook"
+  skip:                                  # Skips publishing per environment
+    dev: true
+    test: false
+    prod: false
+```
+
+### Unpublish
+
+```yaml
+unpublish:
+  exclude_regex: "^DEBUG.*"              # Prevents matching items from being removed
+  items_to_include:                      # Unpublishes only the specified items (requires feature flags)
+    - "OldPipeline.DataPipeline"
+  skip:                                  # Skips unpublishing per environment
+    dev: true
+    test: false
+    prod: false
+```
+
+> **Note**  
+> While selective deployment is supported, it is not recommended due to potential issues with dependency management. Use selective deployment options with caution.
+
+---
+
+## Parameter File
+
+The parameter file enables environment-specific transformation of deployed content.
+
+It can be used to:
+- replace workspace and item identifiers
+- replace connection strings and URLs
+- update embedded values inside item definitions
+- parameterize environment-specific configuration values
+
+The parameter file is optional and is applied only when specified in the configuration.
+
+When items were exported or created using Fabric CLI (and not through Git integration), dependencies must be explicitly defined in the parameter file to ensure correct resolution during deployment.
+
+### Example
+
+```yaml
+find_replace:
+  - find_value: "dev-connection-string"
+    replace_value:
+      dev: "dev-connection-string"
+      test: "test-connection-string"
+      prod: "prod-connection-string"
+```
+
+### Supported Variables
+
+- `$workspace.$id` — resolves to the target workspace ID
+- `$items.<ItemType>.<ItemName>.$id` — resolves to the deployed item ID
+
+Parameterization behavior follows the documented model described here:
+
+https://microsoft.github.io/fabric-cicd/0.1.3/how_to/parameterization/add
+
+---
+
+## Examples
+
+### Basic Deployment
+
+```bash
+fab deploy --config config.yml
+```
+
+### Deployment to a Specific Environment
+
+```bash
+fab deploy --config config.yml --target_env prod
+```
+
+### Deployment with Runtime Parameters
+
+```bash
+fab deploy --config config.yml --target_env test   -P '{"core":{"item_types_in_scope":["Notebook"]}}'
+```
+
+---
+
+## Preparing Source Content
+
+### Using Git Integration
+
+If the workspace is connected to Git, clone the repository locally:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/org/fabric-workspace.git
+```
+
+Use the cloned repository as the deployment source.
+
+---
+
+### Using `fab export`
+
+`fab export` exports one item at a time and does not include logical IDs.
+
+```bash
+fab export --output ./path-to-ws MyDataPipeline.DataPipeline --format .py 
+```
+
+To export Notebook items use the `--format .py` option.
+
+```bash
+fab export --output ./path-to-ws MyNotebook.Notebook --format .py 
+```
+
+---
+
+## Notes
+
+- `fab deploy` does not require Git integration; however, using Git integration is strongly recommended to ensure dependencies.
+- The deploy command supports content sourced from Git repositories, locally exported items, and items created locally.
+- Specifying a target environment is optional. If --target_env is provided, only values for that environment are applied. If environment‑specific values exist in the configuration, --target_env is required.
+- Parameter files are optional and apply to all deployment scenarios.
+
+---
+
+## Related Commands
+
+- `export` — Export individual items from a workspace
+- `import` — Import individual items into a workspace
