GitHub Pages can now be deployed directly through custom GitHub Actions

> You can now deploy to a GitHub Pages site directly from a repository using GitHub Actions, without needing to set up a [publishing source](https://docs.github.com/en/pages/getting-started-with-github-pages/configuring-a-publishing-source-for-your-github-pages-site). Using Actions to orchestrate Pages publishing provides many more options for choosing your authoring framework ([Next.js](https://nextjs.org/), [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/), [Gatsby](https://www.gatsbyjs.com/), [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/), [NuxtJS](https://nuxtjs.org/) or other technologies, and the associated versions thereof) as well as giving you finer control over the publishing process, such as leveraging deployment gates.

GitHub Pages can now be deployed directly through custom GitHub Actions, without having to push the build to a specific branch specifically to publish to Pages.
