Changes made

• Converted deployment section to clear numbered steps
• Removed optional accordion section about skipping GitHub connection
• Replaced dual-tab editing flow with single web editor flow (CLI mentioned as tip)

Note

Condenses quickstart.mdx to a shorter, action-focused guide and prioritizes the web editor path.

• Rewrites intro and deployment into concise numbered steps; surfaces live site URL and where to find it in the dashboard
• Removes accordion, tooltips, and tabbed CLI/Web flows; replaces with a single "Make your first edit" section using Steps focused on the web editor
• Moves CLI to an optional Tip and trims verbose local workflow instructions
• Updates "Next steps" cards with shorter copy and order; keeps custom domain and CLI links

Depending on repo size / deploy queue, the first deploy can take a minute; this wording avoids implying it is instantaneous.

Suggested change

	Your site is now live at `https://<your-project-name>.mintlify.app`.
	Your site will be live at `https://<your-project-name>.mintlify.app` within a minute or two.

Small expectation-setting: publishing triggers a deployment, so users may need to wait before the refresh shows changes.

Suggested change

	Refresh your documentation site to see your changes live.
	Wait for the deployment to finish (check the **Overview** page), then refresh your documentation site to see your changes live.

Nit: add a trailing newline at EOF to keep diffs/formatters happy.
