Description
Right now, the user must manually create the site after the branches are set up. Luckily, [GitHub has a method for creating sites through the API](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/repos#create-a-github-pages-site), so we can add a small action that does that if the page does not exist.
This will definitely make it easier for contributors
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the existing actions in this repository and the linked GitHub Pages API documentation. Identify the action entry point and how it can check whether a site exists before creating one. Done means contributors no longer need to manually create the site after branches are set up, while existing sites are left unchanged.
