Install Parklife

Gemfile

...
gem "parklife-rails"

...

bundle

Initialize for Rails and GitHub Pages

bundle exec parklife init --rails --github-pages

Deploy on GitHub Pages

Commit all changes first.

Create a public GitHub repository and push the local commits. With GitHub CLI installed:

gh repo create rails-static --public --source=. --remote=origin --push

The GitHub action will fail:

GitHub Actions workflow showing failed deployment with red X mark

The repository needs to be configured to build and deploy Pages from Actions:

GitHub repository settings page showing Pages configuration with 'Build and deployment' section set to 'GitHub Actions' source

And the GitHub Action triggered to re-run:

GitHub Actions page with 'Re-run all jobs' button highlighted to retry the failed workflow

Voilà! Website deployed

Successfully deployed Rails Static website showing the homepage with title and navigation
