Astro

Be aware that it is a n old post. Just reference or an inspiration if someone is lost.

Years ago I had a thought to seperate repo with hugo theme and the one with rendered page due to possible use of utterances¹. There are my experiences with both approaches:

deploying page to the same repo

• Astro docs provides a good starting point

deploying site elsewhere

• There is a a convinient github-action
• Can you reuse withastro/action@v0 to build it? You might, but it is designed for scenario above, this action creates an artifact that is consumed by actions/deploy-pages@v1 action.
  • tl;dr: there are better ways

Example of deploying astro blog to github pages

There is my example of working github action.

Things worth to note:

• By using actions to install node and pnpm there is huge time savings due to caching.
• There should be a .nojekyll file in blog root - otherwise css is messed up²
