it's not clear to me what's the url of the created page after going through the tutorial.

[techgoddessx]

how did you solve it

[qiangt]

the url is https://(your github user).github.io/skills-github-pages/
it's there, it's just the tutorial doesn't give you any hint

[qiangt]

btw, I don't think they really care the tutorial feedback at all, don't waste our time here anymore

[techgoddessx]

[airinspiration]

Loved it! so easy!!!! Been looking for this for a while!

[zkanand]

The tutorial is not explained well and no one here helping in solving issues.

Nice tutorial but I'd also appreciate having it in a written form, preferably one page where I can see all the steps in searchable and skimmable manner.

Using GitHub actions is a poor way to write a tutorial. As @subchannel13 above noted, a single page with all steps would be preferable.

As is:

• Using GitHub Actions means there is a "20 second" (actually it's much slower than that) wait after completing each step.
• You cannot easily view earlier steps. (I'm not including digging into the commit history, that's ridiculous.)
• GitHub's standard "3 commits ahead, 2 commits behind main" suggests one must keep merging changes made by GitHub Actions on main into the working branch; more work, no benefit.
• It is gimmicky and more designed to show off GitHub Actions than be a useful tutorial.
• "Wait about 20 seconds then refresh this page" speaks for itself.

I'd been hoping to teach someone with no programming experience to use GitHub pages. I'm not sure it's a good choice; I've been stuck at step 4 in the tutorial. Presumably I did something wrong, but the site builds OK, so who knows what it was? Combine this with the obsolete information about the (removed) Theme Chooser on https://pages.github.com/ (see "Project Site") yields an overall poor experience for new users to GitHub Pages.
