-## Deploy To Namecheap cPanel
-
-1. Open Namecheap cPanel for the account serving `codecarto.dev`.
-2. Go to File Manager.
-3. Open the document root for the domain:
-   - primary domain: usually `public_html/`
-   - addon domain: the folder assigned as that domain's document root
-4. Upload the contents of this folder into that document root.
-5. Confirm `index.html` is at the top of the document root.
-6. Enable AutoSSL for `codecarto.dev`.
-7. Force HTTPS in the domain settings or with the `.htaccess` file.
-8. Visit `https://codecarto.dev/` and hard refresh.
+
+## Deploy With GitHub Pages
+
+GitHub Pages publishes the repository's `main` branch from the repository root.
+
+1. Open a pull request targeting `main`.
+2. Run `npm test` against the authoritative CodeCartographer checkout and wait for the pull-request checks to pass.
+3. Merge the pull request. GitHub Pages automatically starts a new deployment.
+4. Confirm the latest Pages build completed successfully in the repository's **Settings → Pages** view.
+5. Keep `CNAME` set to `codecarto.dev`; GitHub Pages manages the approved TLS certificate and enforces HTTPS.
+6. Visit `https://codecarto.dev/` and hard refresh.
