+# GitHub Actions Setup Guide
+
+This guide will help you set up automated Windows builds for PathFinder using GitHub Actions.
+
+## 🚀 Quick Setup
+
+### 1. Enable GitHub Actions
+- Go to your repository on GitHub
+- Click on the "Actions" tab
+- Click "I understand my workflows, go ahead and enable them"
+
+### 2. Optional: Code Signing (Recommended for Production)
+
+If you want to sign your Windows executables for better security and user trust:
+
+#### Generate Code Signing Certificate
+```bash
+# Install OpenSSL (if not already installed)
+# Then generate a self-signed certificate for testing
+openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365 -nodes
+```
+
+#### Add Secrets to GitHub Repository
+1. Go to your repository on GitHub
+2. Click "Settings" → "Secrets and variables" → "Actions"
+3. Click "New repository secret"
+4. Add these secrets (optional for unsigned builds):
+   - `TAURI_PRIVATE_KEY`: Your private key for code signing
+   - `TAURI_KEY_PASSWORD`: Password for your private key
+
+### 3. Test the Workflow
+
+1. Push your changes to the `main` branch
+2. Go to the "Actions" tab in your repository
+3. You should see the "Build Windows App" workflow running
+4. Wait for it to complete (usually 5-10 minutes)
+
+## 📦 Build Artifacts
+
+The workflow creates two types of Windows installers:
+
+### MSI Installer
+- **Location**: `src-tauri/target/release/bundle/msi/`
+- **File**: `PathFinder_0.1.0_x64_en-US.msi`
+- **Use**: Standard Windows installer, integrates with Windows Add/Remove Programs
+
+### NSIS Installer
+- **Location**: `src-tauri/target/release/bundle/nsis/`
+- **File**: `PathFinder_0.1.0_x64-setup.exe`
+- **Use**: Portable installer, smaller file size
+
+## 🔧 Workflow Configuration
+
+### Triggers
+- **Push to main**: Builds and creates a draft release
+- **Pull Request to main**: Builds for testing (no release)
+
+### Build Process
+1. **Checkout**: Downloads your code
+2. **Setup Node.js**: Installs Node.js 18 with npm cache
+3. **Setup Rust**: Installs Rust toolchain
+4. **Install Dependencies**: Runs `npm ci` and `cargo fetch`
+5. **Build Frontend**: Runs `npm run build`
+6. **Build Tauri App**: Runs `npm run tauri:build`
+7. **Upload Artifacts**: Saves installers as GitHub artifacts
+8. **Create Release**: Creates a draft release (main branch only)
+
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**Build fails with "cargo not found":**
+- The workflow should handle this automatically
+- If it persists, check the Rust setup step
+
+**Build fails with "npm not found":**
+- Check Node.js version in workflow (currently 18)
+- Ensure package.json has correct scripts
+
+**Code signing fails:**
+- Check that `TAURI_PRIVATE_KEY` and `TAURI_KEY_PASSWORD` secrets are set
+- Verify the private key format is correct
+
+**Artifacts not uploading:**
+- Check file paths in the upload steps
+- Ensure the build completed successfully
+
+### Debug Steps
+
+1. **Check workflow logs:**
+   - Go to Actions tab
+   - Click on the failed workflow run
+   - Expand the failed step to see error details
+
+2. **Test locally:**
+   ```bash
+   npm run tauri:build
+   ```
+
+3. **Check file paths:**
+   - Verify the artifact paths match your build output
+   - Check that the files exist after build
+
+## 📋 Manual Release Process
+
+If you prefer to create releases manually:
+
+1. Go to "Releases" in your repository
+2. Click "Create a new release"
+3. Download artifacts from the latest workflow run
+4. Upload the MSI and NSIS installers
+5. Add release notes and publish
+
+## 🔄 Customization
+
+### Change Build Triggers
+Edit `.github/workflows/build-windows.yml`:
+```yaml
+on:
+  push:
+    branches: [ main, develop ]  # Add more branches
+  schedule:
+    - cron: '0 0 * * 0'  # Weekly builds
+```
+
+### Add More Platforms
+Create additional workflow files:
+- `.github/workflows/build-macos.yml`
+- `.github/workflows/build-linux.yml`
+
+### Modify Build Commands
+Update the workflow steps to customize the build process.
+
+## 📊 Monitoring
+
+- **Build Status**: Check the Actions tab for build status
+- **Artifacts**: Download from the Actions tab or Releases
+- **Notifications**: GitHub will email you on build failures (if enabled)
+
+## 🎯 Next Steps
+
+1. **Test the workflow** with a small change
+2. **Set up code signing** for production releases
+3. **Configure release automation** for automatic publishing
+4. **Add more platforms** if needed
+5. **Set up notifications** for build status
