GitHub Pages setup
Docs are VitePress. The GitHub Pages workflow builds the site and deploys it via GitHub Actions (upload-pages-artifact + deploy-pages). You must set the Pages source to GitHub Actions so the built-in Jekyll job is not used (it fails with "No such file or directory - /github/workspace/docs" when triggered by branch updates).
Required: Use GitHub Actions as source
- In the repo go to Settings → Pages.
- Under Build and deployment:
- Source: GitHub Actions
- Click Save.
The first time you use this, you may need to approve the github-pages environment (Actions run → Environment → Approve).
How it works
- The GitHub Pages workflow runs on push to
main(whendocs/or workflow/package files change) or via Run workflow. - It builds with
npm run docs:build, uploads thedocs/.vitepress/distfolder as a Pages artifact, then the deploy job deploys it. No Jekyll, no gh-pages branch push. - The built-in "pages build and deployment" (Jekyll) will not be used for your site once the source is GitHub Actions.
If the site is 404 or blank
- In Actions, confirm the GitHub Pages workflow run succeeded (both build and deploy jobs).
- In Settings → Pages, confirm Source is GitHub Actions.
- If the deploy job is waiting for approval, approve the github-pages environment.
- Wait 1–2 minutes after a successful run.
Manual deploy: Actions → GitHub Pages → Run workflow.
Sitemap & Search Console
- Sitemap URL (submit this in Google Search Console):
https://chetanupare.github.io/WP-Native-Content-Relationships/sitemap.xml - The sitemap is auto-generated by VitePress on each build and includes all pages: home, blog (index + all posts), guide, API, integrations, migration, performance, tools, etc. Entries are sorted (index → blog → guide → api → rest).
- robots.txt in the build already contains:
Sitemap: https://chetanupare.github.io/WP-Native-Content-Relationships/sitemap.xml - If Search Console says "Sitemap could not be read", confirm the URL above returns XML (not 404 or HTML). After a fresh deploy, wait a few minutes and try again.
