+# GitHub Pages Deployment Setup
+
+## Automatic Deployment
+
+This repository is configured for automatic deployment to GitHub Pages using GitHub Actions. Every push to the `main` branch will trigger a new deployment.
+
+## Repository Settings
+
+To enable GitHub Pages for this repository, follow these steps:
+
+1. Go to your repository on GitHub
+2. Click on "Settings" tab
+3. Scroll down to "Pages" in the left sidebar
+4. Under "Source", select "Deploy from a branch"
+5. Select "gh-pages" as the branch
+6. Select "/ (root)" as the folder
+7. Click "Save"
+
+## First Deployment
+
+After pushing the code with the GitHub Actions workflow:
+
+1. The workflow will run automatically on push to `main`
+2. It will build the project and deploy to the `gh-pages` branch
+3. GitHub Pages will serve the content from the `gh-pages` branch
+4. Your app will be available at: https://mikelyons.github.io/study-game
+
+## Manual Deployment
+
+You can also deploy manually using:
+
+```bash
+npm run deploy
+```
+
+This command will:
+1. Build the project (`npm run build`)
+2. Deploy the `dist` folder to the `gh-pages` branch using `gh-pages` package
+
+## Configuration Files
+
+The deployment setup includes:
+
+- **.github/workflows/deploy.yml** - GitHub Actions workflow for automatic deployment
+- **vite.config.ts** - Vite configuration with correct base path (`/study-game`)
+- **package.json** - Homepage URL and deploy scripts
+- **README.md** - Updated with link to live app
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If the deployment fails:
+
+1. Check the Actions tab in your GitHub repository for error logs
+2. Ensure the repository has GitHub Pages enabled
+3. Verify that the `main` branch protection rules (if any) allow the workflow to run
+4. Make sure the build completes successfully locally with `npm run build`
