How can I automate my documentation using GitHub Actions?

You can automate your documentation by creating a GitHub Actions workflow that builds and deploys your docs whenever you push changes.

What files do I need to include in my workflow?

You'll need a YAML file in the .github/workflows directory, specifying the steps to build and deploy your documentation.

Can you give me an example of a simple workflow?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

name: Build Docs
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Set up Python
        uses: actions/setup-python@v2
        with:
          python-version: '3.8'
      - name: Install dependencies
        run: |
          pip install -r requirements.txt
      - name: Build documentation
        run: |
          make html

How do I trigger the workflow manually?

You can trigger the workflow manually by going to the 'Actions' tab in your GitHub repository and selecting the workflow you want to run.
