GitHub Actions Demo for React Apps

This is a teaching project that shows you how to automatically publish a React website to the internet using GitHub Actions. Instead of manually building your code and uploading it somewhere, the project demonstrates how GitHub can do that work for you every time you push changes to your code.

The workflow is straightforward: you write a React app, push it to GitHub, and GitHub automatically builds it and publishes it to GitHub Pages (a free hosting service GitHub provides). The actual automation instructions live in a workflow file that you can read and learn from. The demo includes a working example—you can actually visit the published website to see the final result.

This is most useful for developers who are new to GitHub Actions and want to understand how continuous deployment works. Rather than reading abstract documentation, you can look at real code that does a real thing: take a simple React app, build it, and publish it. It's a hands-on way to learn how to stop doing repetitive publishing tasks by hand and let GitHub do it automatically.

The project itself is intentionally minimal—it's not trying to be a full-featured deployment system or a production setup. It's a learning tool. The author wrote a detailed blog post explaining the concepts, though it's in Chinese. The main value is being able to examine the workflow file and see exactly what commands GitHub runs and in what order, then adapt that pattern to your own projects.
