Issue Description

I'm currently working through the "Deploy the L1 contracts" section and came across some confusing points that I'd like to clarify. The guide says to run git checkout tutorials/chain, but I think this is outdated. Is there an updated guide for using the develop branch?

First, the documentation recommends using op-deployer, but it still mentions the script-based deployment method without explaining how they coexist or which one should be used. This can be confusing for someone trying to follow the process step by step.

Second, after installing op-deployer, I noticed that there's only an executable file and no bin folder or op-deployer directory, as implied in the tutorial. The instructions mention commands like cd op-deployer and ./bin/op-deployer, but these don't seem to match what is actually installed. Since I've already added op-deployer to my PATH, I don't think I should need to navigate to a non-existent directory or use the ./bin/ prefix.

I'm new here, so if I’ve misunderstood anything, please let me know.

Creating your own L2 rollup testnet is pretty old, team are trying to publish new tutorial

Should I work on the develop branch then? I need to do it urgently. Also, if you have any guidance, I'd really appreciate the help!
