In this article let’s explore how we can create an automated presentation workflow.

Create an Automated Presentation Workflow

In a previous article, I talked about using Slidev as an open-source presentation tool. Let’s extend it further to automate and create an end-to-end presentation workflow.

Create a Slidev Project

• Create a Github project called presentations.
• Clone the project locally to your development machine.
• Create a Slidev project called presentations using yarn.

$ yarn create slidev

Create a Slidev Project

• Navigate to http://localhost:3030 to see the presentation.

Slidev Presentation

Automation using GitHub Pages

• Create .github/workflows/deploy.yml

• Make sure to set the base href to the GitHub repository. In my case it is /presentations/.

run: yarn build --base /presentations/

• Check in the project and validate the GitHub action is triggered successfully under the Actions tab.

GitHub Actions

• A branch called gh-pages is created.
• Go to Settings| Pages to set the source of GitHub Pages.
