+The simplest workflow using Quarto Actions uses the `setup` and `publish` actions: [quarto-publish-example.yml](quarto-publish-example.yml). Note that GitHub Pages use a `gh-pages` branch in your repository, which will be automatically created if one doesn't exist.
 
 ## GitHub Pages
 
 1. **Add the GitHub Actions workflow to your project**
 
    Copy [quarto-publish-example.yml](quarto-publish-example.yml) to `.github/workflows/quarto-publish.yml`. Uncomment the "Publish to GitHub Pages (and render)" action. No further changes are needed to the action (in particular, do *not* edit the line below to add a secret to this file. This file has the same permissions as your repository, and might be publicly readable)
+   
+2. **Add `_publish.yml` to your repository**
+
+   Quarto stores publishing metadata information in `_publish.yml`. To create this file, run `quarto publish gh-pages` locally once.
 
-Now, add and commit the workflow file you have just created, and push the result to GitHub. This should trigger a new action from GitHub that will automatically render and publish your website through GitHub pages. Note that this will create a `gh-pages` branch in your repository if one doesn't exist.
