When you finish customizing a master page, the next step is to deploy it to SharePoint. One option is to save and reuse the master page by applying it to individual sites from SharePoint Designer 2010, or if you’re running SharePoint Server 2010, apply it to the site collection from the Site Master Page Settings page.
A more robust, scalable approach is to deploy the master page as a solution package and then activate it as a SharePoint feature. Then, when you want to install or uninstall the master page, you just activate or deactivate that feature. This approach requires using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 to create the necessary modules, deployment XML, and event receivers for the feature.
With this approach, you can better update and manage your master pages across one or more SharePoint sites and site collections. Learn more in the MSDN article, How to Provision a File.
