+deep-code publish DATASET_CONFIG WORKFLOW_CONFIG [--environment ENVIRONMENT]
  ```
 
+#### Arguments
+    DATASET_CONFIG - Path to the dataset configuration YAML file
+    (e.g., dataset-config.yaml)
+
+    WORKFLOW_CONFIG - Path to the workflow configuration YAML file
+    (e.g., workflow-config.yaml)
+
+#### Options
+    --environment, -e - Target catalog environment:
+    production (default) | staging | testing

+#### Examples:
+1. Publish to staging catalog
+```
+deep-code publish dataset-config.yaml workflow-config.yaml --environment=staging
+```
+2. Publish to testing catalog
+```
+deep-code publish dataset-config.yaml workflow-config.yaml -e testing
