-circleci orb create <my-namespace>/<my-orb-name> --private
-circleci orb pack src > unity-orb.yml

+   export NAMESPACE="<your-namespace>"
+   export ORB_NAME="<your-orb-name>"
+   export VERSION="dev:first"
+   ```
+
+3. **Pack and publish your orb:**
+
+   ```bash
+   circleci orb pack src > unity-orb.yml
+   circleci orb publish unity-orb.yml "$NAMESPACE/$ORB_NAME@$VERSION"
+   ```
+
+4. **Use your orb in your CircleCI workflow:**
+
+   Update your `.circleci/config.yml` to reference your custom version:
+
+   ```yaml
+   orbs:
+     unity: <your-namespace>/<your-orb-name>@dev:first
+   ```
+
+5. **Promote the version** to a higher semantic version if needed (optional):
+
+   ```bash
+   circleci orb publish promote "$NAMESPACE/$ORB_NAME@$VERSION" patch
+   ```
