Set up GitHub Actions for Beautiful Jekyll

Mon, 02 Sep 2019 23:23:25 +0200

GitHub Actions provide CI/CD support, which might interest many GitHub users. I’ve applied for this feature a week ago. Luckily, my application for the trial was approved by GitHub. Tonight, I’ve found the motivation for making my first step in my forked repo VincentTam/beautiful-jekyll.

My setup:

Clicked on the “Action” tab of the repo.
Chose the workflow file template for Jekyll.
Added a slash / in front of srv in chmod 777 srv/jekyll, so as to fix the “no such file or directory” error.
Added the parameter repository: {your repo name} in the site config file _config.yml.

The action should be successfully configured.

Introduction

This is the GitHub Pages version to my GitLab Pages with Staticman tutorial.

I didn’t plan to test whether Staticman v3 work on GitHub since it’s proprietary. However, from Staticman issues #222 and #227, we know that the official server doesn’t respond to

GET /v2/connnect/<USERNAME>/<REPONAME>

To help others, I self-advertised my own Staticman API instance and the migration to GitLab pages. Unfortunately, nobody had managed to create a GitHub repo running on my API instance. To convince others that it’s also working on GitHub, I decided to create a minimal GitHub repo.
