Deploy to GitHub Pages

[alinnert]

I'm trying to use this action to build a static site that then gets published to GitHub Pages. I'm using the variant where the site gets served from the docs folder. But for some reason this doesn't work.

By this I mean the changes made by the automated build process get successfully pushed back into the repository. But these changes don't get deployed to gh-pages. On the other hand, the changes I make on and push from my local machine do get deployed.

Do you, by any chance, know why this is happening? Or is there a different approach that is known working?

Wow, I just found the answer to this in this issue: maxheld83/ghpages#1

You can "fix" it by using a manually generated Personal Access Tokens instead of GITHUB_TOKEN.

Super!

One other option would be to use an action like https://github.com/peaceiris/actions-gh-pages, which seems to work fine with the built-in secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN.
