deploy-public

Private-to-public repo sync. One script for all repos. Copies code, creates a PR on the public repo, merges it, and syncs GitHub releases.

When to Use This Skill

Use deploy-public for:

• Publishing a private repo's code to its public counterpart
• After running wip-release on the private repo (release must exist first)
• Syncing release notes from private to public

CRITICAL: Release order matters.

1. Merge PR to private repo's main
2. Run wip-release (creates GitHub release with notes on private repo)
3. THEN run deploy-public.sh (pulls notes from private release)

If you skip step 2, the public release gets empty notes.

Do NOT Use For

• Repos without a -private counterpart
• First-time repo setup (create the public repo on GitHub first)
