+
+This is a little easier than I thought it would be. So basically it generates a post from a pull request's body and commits it to  branch. I already have an action that reruns the site generator whenever something new appears in  directory, so in effect I just need to write whatever I want to write in the PR's body, and press  when I'm happy with it.
+
+More specifically there are 4 GitHub actions in action (no pun intended):
+
+1. Creates a PR by running an action: I want to be able to do it very easily, with this I only need to type in the title of the post and a new PR will be populated. Note that in order to make a new PR, I need to insert something into the new commit. That something is a file named .
+2. Generates the new post file in  directory: when I'm good with the PR body and merge the PR, an action will pipe the body into the new file. The draft iteme will also be removed.
+3. Run the Haskell site generator. The action detects if anything's changed in , and if so generates the static site. The generator itself doesn't change much, the action nicely takes care of caching it so that it doesn't spend twenty minutes compiling hakyll.
+4. Deploy to GH pages. I didn't write this myself.
