🚀 Deploy to GitHub Pages

Deploy to roars.dev/csconfs (only for maintainers):

# In the project root, e.g., ~/git/csconfs/ and in the `main``
npm run deploy

• The script handles deployment to the gh-pages branch. It will automatically build the project and push the changes to the gh-pages branch. So you don't need to push to the gh-pages branch manually.
