Release steps for Dawnsorrow/HSCompare (Gitea + Dalamud)

Repo: http://brassnet.ddns.net:33983/Dawnsorrow/HSCompare

---

1. Push the code (one-time or after changes)

From this folder in a terminal:

cd "/home/jorg/Documents/My Dalamud Plugins/HSCompare"
git push -u origin main

If git push asks for credentials, use your Gitea login (username + password or token).
If the remote is already added and push failed before, just run git push.

3. Tag: v1.0.2 (must match the version in pluginmaster.json)
4. Title: e.g. v1.0.2
5. Attach file:
   Upload this file from your PC:
   HSCompare/bin/Release/HSCompare/latest.zip
   (Build first with dotnet build -c Release if needed.)
6. Save the release.

The zip download URL will be:

http://brassnet.ddns.net:33983/Dawnsorrow/HSCompare/releases/download/v1.0.2/latest.zip
