### what are these post-deploy shortcuts?

these are for games that need a bit extra to get things working after modding in Vortex

they automate things like:

* copying required files from Vortex's Documents folder to the game's Documents folder
* plugins.txt, loadorder.txt, etc.
* setting up script extenders to launch through Steam

a game's post-deploy script should be ran every time after modding in vortex

> **Note:** If you know what you're doing, could set up symlinks instead for this.
> That way it only needs to be set up once, before starting modding.
> Might evaluate refactoring to that approach in a v2.
### how to open launcher to change settings afterwards

using Skyrim as an example:

* after running post-deploy, the game will now start SKSE instead of the launcher
* to open the launcher, install protontricks and launch the underscore-prefixed launcher .exe with it

## uninstall
