Saving on gh-pages

TLDR;

Click on the fork with the blue dot on it and commit your changes.

A student wrote to me saying that there https://<student github>.github.io/<folder name> page wasn’t updating. I feel that this is an opportunity for me to write a post. When you are editing your site, you are using a temporary codespace that Microsoft provides to edit repositories on github. Along with codespaces github also offers a feature called github pages. There is code in .github/workflows/main.yml that runs when you push your updated code to github.

    # Steps represent a sequence of tasks that will be executed as part of the job
    steps:
      # run npm install, npm run build and publish to gh-pages
      - uses: diy-pwa/npm-build-2-gh-pages@v1.11
        with: 
          github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
