Fail to trigger automatic re-deploy function after customization

[PanZiwei]

Hi all,
I have carefully gone through the README file but I failed to trigger automatic re-deployment after new changes. See my Git repo (I used my friend's repo for test since my GitHub page is occupied already)

Here is what I did:
Follow the Local setup -> Follow the deployment part to change the repo only -> Push the local repo and set up the Github Page to the gh-pages branch
Everything works well at this moment, I can find the deployment in the Actions part.

However, after I customize the context, I successfully pushed the new changes, finding only the master branch is changed, nothing happened( no updated commitment) to the gh-pages branch, and pages-build-deployment is not triggered in the Actions. As a result, the Github Page is not updated.

I have successfully loaded all the updated websites locally, so I am guessing that it should be something wrong with the "automatically re-deploy your webpage" function?

Would really appreciate it if any advice can be offered! Thanks!

Best,
Ziwei

how does the pages section of your repo look like?

make sure source is set to gh-pages and not to master. it seems like the website is trying to use the default github jekyll deployment method instead of using .github/workflows/deploy.yml.
