blog VS terraform-provider-github

I noticed that after deployment images were broken after further research it became clear that this happens because we are using baseURL with path - https://imomaliev.github.io/blog/. This is known behavior. It does look like a bug to me, but maintainers decided to close this issue as "wontfix" for now. In the future, I am planning to host this blog on my domain without additional path in baseURL, but for now I fixed it by using relative paths instead ones starting with leading /.

I will start from the very beginning and create this blog from the scratch. This series is called "Building the blog while flying it". In the spirit of famous startup quote/approach, "Building the plane while flying it"1. I think I will have a lot of fun. I am going to start by posting to my dev.to page and host blog repository on the GitHub. My first version of this blog is living in the blog-v1 repo.

There's an open feature request issue for it in the provider. I'd keep your eyes on 1534 for it to be implemented, as well as give it the 'ol thumbs-up bump.

I wanted to configure GitHub Pages using terraform because this project already uses it to configure this repository. But currently, due to how GitHub provider for terraform is written, configuring Pages requires some fiddling and will not work on the first run. During my research into how I could achieve declarative configuration for Pages, I found out that GitHub recently added actions that allow deploying to Pages without additional branch. I like this new approach better and in the future I will switch to it, but for now I decided to configure Pages manually as suggested by GitHub Pages Action that we are using.

Someone hit the wrong switch at the factory: https://github.com/integrations/terraform-provider-github/releases/tag/v4.28.0

Well, there are a lot of open issues [0] with no outlook to get them ever closed.

We've had issues with branch protection rules (the same code works with old actors in the state, but new actors erroring out without any reason), organization secrets, etc.

I don't understand how this hasn't gotten more attention throughout the years. I would like to learn about why that is.

I am a big fan of Squash and Merge but it's saddening that users have to configure that by hand on a repo when they first merge a commit via the GitHub UI, as many people aren't aware or don't think about it which can lead to nasty commit histories.

Am I missing something? Am I git'ing wrong?
