Deploying My Blog to Github Pages with Github Actions

In a previous post I talked about how I was deploying my blog to Github Pages with Travis CI. Since Github Actions is free for open source projects I’m able to use it to deploy my blog. I use the deploy pages Github Action and their starter workflow for Jekyll with the addition of html-proofer that runs on the HTML generated by Jekyll. Add a new post to _posts, commit it to main, git push and GH actions will build my site with Jekyll, run the generated HTML through html-proofer, and deploy it to Github Pages. Here’s my actions workflow.
