CI/CD Exercise 2.2

This exercise aims to set up a GitHub Action to automate the build and deployment process of a website using a serverless approach.

Description

The exercise involves creating a GitHub Action workflow that triggers on changes to the repository. Upon triggering, the workflow will perform the following steps:

Build Process: Compile and process the HTML, CSS, and other assets of the website.
Deploy Process: Use a serverless deployment method to publish the updated website to a hosting service.

File Structure

The website consists of the following structure:

resources/
- style.scss: SCSS file for styling the website.
index.php: PHP file for rendering the website.
server.php: PHP file for handling local server requests.
public/: Directory for storing the compiled website assets.
serverless.yml: Serverless configuration file for deploying the website.

GitHub Action Setup

The goal is to create a GitHub Action that:

Automatically triggers on pushes to the repository's main branch.
Uses appropriate actions for building the website.
Uses serverless deployment methods to publish the website.

Steps to Complete the Exercise

Clone Repository: Clone this repository to your local machine.
Create Workflow: Inside the repository, create a .github/workflows directory.
Define Workflow: Create a YAML file (e.g., deploy.yml) within the workflows directory. Define the workflow with necessary steps for building and deploying the website.
Configure Action: Ensure the action triggers on push events and includes the necessary build and deployment steps.
Test Action: Push changes to the repository to trigger the GitHub Action. Verify that the website is built and deployed correctly.

Notes

Ensure proper handling of sensitive information (e.g., API keys or secrets) in the deployment process.
Test the action thoroughly to ensure the website is correctly built and deployed.
