+#!/bin/bash
+
+# increment_and_push.sh
+#
+# Automates version bumping based on git tags, then commits, tags, pushes,
+# and uploads the website to the server.
+#
+# Git tag is the authoritative source of truth for the version.
+#
+# Usage:
+#   ./increment_and_push.sh "Your commit message here"     # Bump patch (default)
+#   ./increment_and_push.sh --minor "Your commit message"  # Bump minor
+#   ./increment_and_push.sh --major "Your commit message"  # Bump major
+#
+# What this script does:
+#   1. Reads the latest git tag to determine the current version
+#   2. Increments the version (patch/minor/major)
+#   3. Updates www/js/version.json with the new version + build date
+#   4. Updates package.json with the new version number
+#   5. Rebuilds the PQ crypto bundle
+#   6. Stages all changes, commits with the provided message
+#   7. Creates a new git tag for the version
+#   8. Pushes commits + tags to remote
+#   9. Uploads the website to the server via upload.sh
