 ### Build Script:
 
 Alternatively, you can use the build script located at `ci/build.sh`. Calling this script with no arguments will trigger a full build which will be located at `build/local`.
-For a comprehensive list of all available options along with descriptions, you can use the option `ci/build.sh -h`:
 
+```bash
+cd $CUCO_ROOT
+ci/build.sh # build
+ctest --test-dir build/local/tests # run tests
 ```
-cuCollections build script
-Usage: ci/build.sh [OPTIONS]
-Options:
-  -t/--tests: Build tests
-  -e/--examples: Build examples
-  -b/--benchmarks: Build benchmarks
-  -c/--clean: Clean (re-)build
-  --prefix: Build directory prefix (Defaults to <repo_root>/build)
-  -i/--infix: Build directory infix (Defaults to local)
-  -d/--debug: Debug build
-  -p/--parallel: Build parallelism (Defaults to $PARALLEL_LEVEL if set, otherwise the system's number of CPU cores)
-  --cuda: CUDA compiler (Defaults to $CUDACXX if set, otherwise nvcc)
-  --cxx: Host compiler (Defaults to $CXX if set, otherwise g++)
-  --arch: Target CUDA arches, e.g. "60-real;70;80-virtual" (Defaults to the system's native GPU archs)
-  --std: CUDA/C++ standard (Defaults to 17)
-  -v/-verbose/--verbose: Enable shell echo for debugging
-  -h/-help/--help: Show this usage message
-
-Examples:
-  Basic Build:
-    $ ci/build.sh
-    Runs a basic build with default settings, i.e., builds tests, examples, and benchmarks.
-    Build files will be written to <repo_root>/build/local and symlinked to <repo_root>/build/latest.
-
-  Custom Build Infix Directory:
-    $ ci/build.sh -i my_build
-    Build files will be written the <repo_root>/build/my_build directory and symlinked to <repo_root>/build/latest.
-
-  Parallel Build with Specific CUDA Architecture and CUDA Compiler:
-    $ PARALLEL_LEVEL=8 ci/build.sh --cuda /my_cuda_compiler/nvcc --arch 70;80
-    $ ci/build.sh -p 8 --cuda /my_cuda_compiler/nvcc --arch 70;80
-    Specifies parallel build level of 8 and CUDA architecture 70 and 80 with the specified CUDA compiler.
-    Build files will be written to <repo_root>/build/local and symlinked to <repo_root>/build/latest.
-
-  Debug Build with Tests and Examples:
-    $ CXX=g++-9 ci/build.sh -t -e -d
-    $ ci/build.sh --cxx g++-9 -t -e -d
-    Sets the host compiler to g++-9, builds tests and examples, and enables debug mode.
-    Build files will be written to <repo_root>/build/local and symlinked to <repo_root>/build/latest.
-
-  Custom Build Directory with Benchmarks:
-    $ BUILD_BENCHMARKS=ON ci/build.sh --prefix /custom/build --infix my_build
-    $ ci/build.sh --prefix /custom/build --infix my_build -b
-    Builds benchmarks.
-    Build files will be written to /custom/build/my_build and symlinked to /custom/build/latest.
-
-  Verbose Mode for Debugging:
-    $ ci/build.sh -v --std 17
-    Enables verbose mode for detailed output and builds with C++17 standard.
-    Build files will be written to <repo_root>/build/local and symlinked to <repo_root>/build/latest.

 ## Code Formatting
 By default, `cuCollections` uses [`pre-commit.ci`](https://pre-commit.ci/) along with [`mirrors-clang-format`](https://github.com/pre-commit/mirrors-clang-format) to automatically format the C++/CUDA files in a pull request.
