I think GH has a mechanism for autogenerating sites triggered on commit or
using a GH action.  Maybe we should ask gdal.org how they publish theirs for
guidance unless Paul already knows.
So main benefit is less sysadmin intervention needed, and easier for GH
users to contribute.
If we wanted to we could always have a job to publish it on a hook or cron.
We already do that with postgis-workshops which is hosted on GitHub (not GH
pages though)

I still plan to setup a mirror on gitea for it, like we do for:

https://github.com/postgis/postgis-workshops (
https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/postgis/postgis-workshops )  of course that is
only like every day or so.
But still simpler than a full fledged hook.


Thanks,
Regina
