Publish a Quarto project using GitHub Pages+GitHub Actions in 6 minutes (no need to render locally!) 

In this video, we learn how to publish a Quarto project using GitHub Pages AND GitHub Actions, in a way that avoids the need to render any files locally. GitHub Actions handles the whole process from start to finish: Quarto + R will be installed, the correct versions of each R package you need will be installed, the Quarto project will be fully rendered, and then it'll be published on GitHub Pages. It's all free, and it only takes a few minutes to set up.
It's also surprisingly much easier than I thought it would be:
✅ Step 1 - Create a new Quarto project that uses Git and renv
✅ Step 2 - Add a .github/workflows/publish.yml file (there's a template!)
✅ Step 3 - Push everything to GitHub, and change which branch GitHub Pages is being built from
