Onze was built with GitHub Pages in mind. The repository already includes a GitHub Actions workflow (.github/workflows/deploy.yml) that builds and deploys your site automatically on every push to main.

How to set up

  1. Push this repository to GitHub
  2. Go to Settings → Pages
  3. Under Build and deployment, set the source to GitHub Actions
  4. That's it — the next push to main will trigger the deploy

No extra configuration needed. Just write your posts, push, and your site is live.
