• Initialize directory on EF server.

• Set up the following Action Secrets and Variables:

Finally, when a stable routine has been established, enable auto-triggering the workflow for production by editing .github/workflow/deploy_www.yml:

on:
  push:
      branches: [main]
  workflow_dispatch:

on push branches is triggered on pushes to the listed branch(es), while workflow_dispatch allows manual running of the workflow.

• The static html output will be saved to the path configured under staticOut.path.
