+## Deployment
+To deploy a build to the Raspberry Pi use the `deploy.sh` script. This script will create a tarball of file listed in a text file, transfer it to
+a specified hostname and untar it there.
+
+To use the script execute it in the project's root directory with,
+```bash
+./deploy.sh [pathfile] [username]@[hostname]
+```
+For example, to deploy the files listed in `deploypaths.txt` to `testpi` (using username raspberry) the command would be
+```bash
+./deploy.sh deploypaths.txt raspberry@testpi
+```
+The pathname file should contain a path to a file or directory on each line. If a directory is listed `deploy.sh` will copy the entire contents over.
+You can use the `#` character at the start of a line to leave comments.
