Use (free) Github Actions to automatically deploy your site (and do other stuff as well)

Github Actions are a relatively new feature on Github. You can use them for free if you don't use it too much. For my purposes that's a lot!

What are Github Actions?
They basically allow you to "do stuff" with your code when you push new code to your repository. This "stuff" can be:

• linting your code
• automatically reformat your code
• automatically upload your code to where you're hosting something
• and pretty much anything you can think of

I currently use it to:

• automatically reformat all the Python code in a repository to the "black" standard
• deploy my static site to a staging or deploy location

Do check it out, it's easy to start with and super helpful.
