Issue

Scenario

Often times, we like to just post a Markdown (.md) file by only commiting it into our Github repository and then keep walking just to check our phone for THAT new web page.

Options

I do believe this is now attainable by using the "Continuous Integration" (CI) called "Actions" in Github.

So, I googled for it and got this 'HOWTO'.

The problem is that this is a pretty vague step-by-step and it does not appear to be well-written (perhaps too specific for a distro). I am about to try this but at the same time, I want to ask you this:

A Lil' Help?

Are there any other websites that details how to runs Pelican make in Github Actions?

I always write the content, run pelican and commit both the markdown the site.. But yes you could what you suggest as well.

There is a GH Action in the Marketplace. https://github.com/marketplace/actions/pelican-to-github-pages

And a blog post... https://nielscautaerts.xyz/deploying-a-pelican-static-site-with-github-actions.html

We now have a reusable Actions workflow and relevant documentation for this, thanks to @seanh. See #3189.
