Pushed a change.
Live site looks the same.

This happens for two reasons: the deploy workflow failed silently, or your browser is showing a cached version. Check the Actions tab before anything else.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Text PJ โ€” diagnose it live

Check Actions first โ€” 20 seconds

Go to your repo โ†’ Actions tab. Click the most recent run. If there's a red X, expand the failed step โ€” it'll tell you exactly what went wrong. Most common: build error, missing file, or a script exit code.

Common causes & fixes

Workflow failed

Expand the red step in Actions. Fix the error, push again. The new push will trigger a fresh deploy automatically.

Browser cache

Try incognito mode + Ctrl+Shift+R. If you can see the change there, it's just cache โ€” clear your browser cache and reload.

Wrong branch deploying

Check Settings โ†’ Pages โ†’ Source. Make sure it's set to deploy from the correct branch (usually main or gh-pages).

Build output not in _site

If your workflow builds to _site/, make sure the Pages source is set to that folder, not root.

Check workflow status with GitHub CLI:

# Check deploy status from CLI:
gh run list --limit 5

# View failed run details:
gh run view [RUN_ID]
Pages still not updating?

Clarity before cost. Real help. No runaround.
