Difference between scripts and deploy

[harry2855]

I am at 12:18:09 and get lost a bit. Why did he introduce scripts when we already have our deploy code?

[alfaqi]

Deploy code or folder is used by Hardhat-deploy package like this command npx hardhat deploy
scripts can be used via hardhat run command like this command npx hardhat run ./scripts/filename.js

But , what is the basic difference between them. What are they used for?

[alfaqi]

Simple words:
hardhat deploy can deploy a bunch of file at once,
For example: deploy all the files in deploy folder.
hardhat run run file by file
You have to specify which file you want to execute

As I think
