Deployment

The site uses a two-stage deployment process:

1. GitHub Actions builds the site on every commit to main

   • Runs quarto render automatically
   • Publishes built site to deploy branch
   • Build status shown in badge above

2. GitHub Pages serves the pre-built site from the deploy branch, with Cloudflare handling DNS routing

   • Live site: www.i3open.org

Simply commit and push changes to main to trigger the build and deployment.
