I'll leave the review of the docs action to @jGaboardi but it will probably need some other action as this is essentially a move from RTD to PySAL.org/pointpats. Not sure how that works.

Based on the notes in the build_docs.yml (this file is borrowed from the subpackage_template.

# Notes:
#   - After the first run of this workflow:
#       - Within the project repo, navigate to Setting/Github Pages
#       - set `the source pbranch to `gh-pages/(root))`.
#   - Uncomment evertything below the following line to enable the workflow.

The workflow needs to be integrated into the repo before configuring the setting of github page. @jGaboardi let me know if my understanding is incorrect.

@weikang9009, yes I believe your understanding is correct (if I remember correctly).

this is essentially a move from RTD to PySAL.org/pointpats. Not sure how that works.

I also can't remember how this works since it has been some years since I've used RTD. In any case, I think it's a good idea to retain the readthedocs.yml file for now until things are worked out.

Also, @weikang9009 do you have admin privileges here in pointpats? We should update the default branch from master to main after this PR if you do.
