+# Pokedex.Online Deployment Automation Script
+#
+# This script automates the deployment process with pre-deployment checks,
+# build verification, and rollback capability.
+#
+# Usage:
+#   ./deploy.sh [options]
+#
+# Options:
+#   --target <internal|external>  Deployment target (default: internal)
+#   --port <number>               Frontend HTTP port (default: 8080)
+#   --ssl-port <number>           Frontend HTTPS port (optional)
+#   --backend-port <number>       Backend port (default: 3000)
+#   --skip-tests                  Skip test execution
+#   --skip-build                  Skip build step (use existing dist/)
+#   --no-backup                   Skip backup creation
+#   --dry-run                     Show what would be deployed without deploying
+#
+# Examples:
+#   ./deploy.sh --target internal
+#   ./deploy.sh --target external --port 8080 --backend-port 3000
+#   ./deploy.sh --dry-run
