Deploy to GitHub Pages git.ts - Read to help you improve your own deployment script.

The interesting part is towards the bottom where we build the frontend code and make use of the github-pages-deploy-action step to automatically make a new commit with the compiled frontend code to a gh-pages branch.

Finally, will do the deploy on github pages using the scripts from JamesIves/github-pages-deploy-action, and create a branch gh-pages with the code from apps/web/build.

- Deploy to GitHub Pages using GitHub Actions

For Storybook deploy, we will use github-pages-deploy-action

If you've built a site that can be rendered statically, then you can probably set up a GitHub Pages deploy via GitHub Actions (since Pages supports only Jekyll by default, you need this for any other static site generator). But if you have a server component, then you'll need to host it some other way.

Around three years ago I created the github-pages-deploy-action project as my first real venture into the world of open source. I built this action so I could make continued updates to a blog while being away from my work laptop. The community response has been fantastic and I'm very happy with how it has evolved over the years as a result. I even had the opportunity to be interviewed by GitHub for my involvement back in 2020 which you can read here.

This action is a composite action using shell scripts for installing necessary tools and preparing docs and makes use of JamesIves/github-pages-deploy-action for deploying the docs to a GitHub Pages branch.
