GitHub Actions to render, deploy and deploy preview

[arronlacey]

Summary Sentence

Currently a local install of Quarto is required to render the Wiki. There are however Quarto GitHub Actions that can render the Wiki for us and avoid needing a local install. This would allow us to edit the wiki directly on GitHub.

But! It would be handy to have deploy previews if we are editing directly on GitHub. The Turing Way uses Netlify which is fine, but since March 2023 a PR was merged into GitHubs deploy-pages action that allows deploy previews https://github.com/actions/deploy-pages/blob/368bf1aa22b9265440e251b9216520e3f91c2d5b/action.yml#L36-L39

It could be possible to test deploying a preview in this manner.

What needs to be done?

• Incorporate and test the Quarto GitHub Actions to render and deploy the wiki into this repo's .yml file
• Test the deploy preview capability of GitHub's deploy-pages action

Who can help?

Anyone!
