Also the reason I chose that ruby version is it matches my local ruby environment which is set at: `ruby 2.6.1p33 (2019-01-30 revision 66950) [x86_64-darwin20]` ---

@MichaelCurrin Nevermind, I got the build to work. Ran ` bundle lock --add-platform x86_64-linux` and it fixed the issue that my lockfile was built on Mac but the deploy script is intended for linux. I did have one other question about your build script, why have this part ` if: ${{ github.event_name != 'pull_request' }}` in the last section? Doesn’t this if statement stop it from building on pull requests? Wouldn’t you want to test the build on a new feature’s pull request like I did? (that was how i caught my error). Just curious, ---

Oh glad you figured that out. I haven’t had to edit the build system line. The way I set up my workflow is that indeed on a pull request it will install Ruby and gems and build withbJekyll. That is the quality control or CI part. But the last step to actually _deploy_ or publish the code only runs not on a PR, meaning only on the main branch. So that is the CD part, in CI/CD. This check means you don’t have in progress work accidentally overwriting your public live site. ---

@MichaelCurrin thanks for that info. I just tried to deploy my new feature to production by merging the new feature branch to master but looks like it didn’t work and I don’t know why. Nothing failed form my perspective in the GitHub actions but i don’t see any new deployments in the deployments section. Furthermore i received a generic message from GitHub saying: > The page build failed for the `master` branch with the following error: > > Page build failed.

I am really disappointed it failed after all that. ---

I think GH is trying to still build the site but the whole point of this was to avoid this because i am using unsupported plugins… ---

Okay so the GH Action is meant to put a file in the gh-pages branch which will prevent Jekyll from running and just serve static files. `.nojekyll` > **[GitHub - MichaelCurrin/jekyll-gh-actions-quickstart at gh-pages](https://github.com/MichaelCurrin/jekyll-gh-actions-quickstart/tree/gh-pages)** > > gh-pages Make sure that file is there on the Branch. And make sure you edit your repo settings to serve from gh-pages and not main [Previous page](https://talk.jekyllrb.com/t/paginate-v2-with-github-pages-confusion/6471.md?page=1)
