@Revathyvenugopal162 this looks good. I think we want to use the new deploy to GitHub pages that we are using in our website repo here

Are you open to modifying this to use deploy to GH pages rather than the peaceiris action instead?

[Revathyvenugopal162]

@lwasser ,sure, i can revert to that change.

I am approving this to be merged but do request we use the deploy action rather than peace iris if it is true that - that method is now preferred by GitHub. that is what i was told!! Thank yoy so much for this!

[lwasser]
