A Github Action to build and deploy Jekyll site to Github Pages
The Action will build a production build of your jekyll site in gh-pages branch on every push. Very helpful, when you want to use jekyll plugins which are not supported by Github Pages Yet.
You need to set build folder as God demands, add the following in your site's _config.yml :
destination: ./build
And, put the following inside yourjekyllsite/.github/workflows/main.yml
name: Jekyll Deploy
