Jekyll Actions action

• 

That is fork of Jekyll Actions action, with the differences that the fork is built in TS not Docker and it doesn’t to publish for you (the docs add a step for publishing)

Which is great. As it means this Jekyll action has a narrow scope and it is also easy to add an extra step to publish to GH Pages. The docs recommend a popular action by PeaceIris, as shown in the last step below.

It appears you have to first set up Ruby and then use this Jekyll-related action.

This uses TypeScript instead of Docker, so is supposed should be quicker to download than the original action. It also is more flexible to handle non-default use-cases.

Sample usage based on the docs.

• main.yml

    name: Build and deploy
  
    on:
      push:
        branches:
          - master

      jekyll:
        name: Build and deploy
