Continuous Integration: GitHub Actions¶
Documentation Hosting: GitHub Pages¶
Setup GitHub Pages¶
We will be hosting our documents on GitHub Pages. In order to start hosting to GitHub Pages you must first create a GitHub Pages site if you haven’t set it up before.
Generate Docs¶
We have to execute quite a number of commands in order to generate the docs. To make this process easier let’s create a Makefile.
.PHONY: help docs
.DEFAULT_GOAL := help
define PRINT_HELP_PYSCRIPT
import re, sys
for line in sys.stdin:
match = re.match(r'^([a-zA-Z_-]+):.*?## (.*)$$', line)
if match:
target, help = match.groups()
print("%-20s %s" % (target, help))
endef
export PRINT_HELP_PYSCRIPT
help:
@python -c "$$PRINT_HELP_PYSCRIPT" < $(MAKEFILE_LIST)
docs: ## generate Sphinx HTML documentation, including API docs
rm -f docs/python_lifecycle_training*.rst
rm -f docs/modules.rst
sphinx-apidoc -o docs/ python_lifecycle_training
$(MAKE) -C docs clean
$(MAKE) -C docs html
$(BROWSER) docs/_build/html/index.html

Create one more pull request and merge your changes to master. Check the actions tab once your changes have been merged.
Once the Documentation test passes do the following:
Go to your project Settings
Go to GitHub Pages section
Set your Source to Branch: gh-pages
Click Save
You can now visit https://sp-fm.github.io/python-lifecycle-training to view the documentation
