typescript-action VS pages-gem

While learning about GitHub Actions, I came across the GitHub Actions Org, and they have a bunch of templates for building custom GitHub actions. So, I started searching for a template that has TypeScript support, ensuring type safety to write bug-free code. I found the typescript-action template that includes support for tests, linter, versioning, and more.

This is the template I used for my TypeScript action https://github.com/actions/typescript-action

I found the GitHub actions documentation easier to read than Azure, so I would recommend starting writing and testing your extensions on GitHub by using the official template actions/typescript-action. The mentioned template provides a good starting point; I won't repeat the steps here. Play with it, write some simple stuff, and then return here for the next steps.

GitHub maintain a set of repos called actions. One of which is called cache.

To get started quickly with a JavaScript action, I recommend using the official templates from GitHub for JavaScript and TypeScript.

On the TypeScript side, setup was much easier. There was already a template from GitHub that took care of the basics. Most of the time spent here was updating dependencies and getting my editor to play nicely with it—18 minutes, about 10% of the total.

Now that you know how to create your own GitHub Actions, why not give it a try? Head to the GitHub Marketplace and start exploring the existing Actions, or create your own and share it with the community. With GitHub Actions, the possibilities are endless, so start building and see what you can accomplish

Your build most likely fails because your tests fail. Most CI pipelines today, like Jenkins, Circleci, GitLab, TeamCity, Bamboo, and GitHub Actions, are configured to automatically cause the build process to fail when tests fail.

It's super easy to publish a static site like the resume with GitHub Pages. Just check out the docs.

GitHub Pages: Host your static websites directly from your GitHub repository.

As per many other comments, it sounds like a static site generator like Hugo (https://gohugo.io/) or Jekyll (https://jekyllrb.com/), hosted on GitHub Pages (https://pages.github.com/) or GitLab Pages (https://about.gitlab.com/stages-devops-lifecycle/pages/), would be a good match. If you set up GitHub Actions or GitLab CI/CD to do the build and deploy (see e.g. https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-github/), your normal workflow will simply be to edit markdown and do a git push to make your changes live. There are a number of pre-built themes (e.g. https://themes.gohugo.io/) you can use, and these are realtively straightforward to tweak to your requirements.

Ideal for open source projects, docs sites, and portfolios. GitHub Pages

Github Pages: Link to Github Pages

Once you have all the documentation worked out a place to host it will be necessary. Some documentation generation may have ties in with specific hosting sites. Read The Docs' support for Sphinx and other documentation tools is one example. GitHub pages can be useful for GitHub hosted projects as it integrates well with GitHub Actions CI/CD deployments.

If you use GitHub and need to host a static website, consider GitHub Pages. Free for one site Stored on a GitHub public respository Deploy via web interface, or Git 100GB/month free bandwidth

There are plenty of other hosting options you could use instead, such as GitHub Pages.

Functionally github.io just presents whatever you throw into the repository as the root directory of a site, github themselves host a very good, basic outline of how to set up a site on github.io.
