I noted that the &ldquo;modern&rdquo; method to deploy a website on GitHub is with Actions and I couldn&rsquo;t pass up the opportunity. While going through the process of deploying this blog, I found that no single resource had all the information I needed to get everything stood up. I figured, &ldquo;hey I&rsquo;m making a blog why not write what I wish I had&rdquo; and that&rsquo;s how this post came to be. The process is fairly simple from start to finish once you know where all the moving parts are located.</p>
