Testing and Deployment

Testing and deployment are related, but they are not the same thing:

• Testing checks whether a change works and follows the project's rules.
• Deployment publishes an approved version for visitors.

Test your work

Follow Running Checks before opening or updating a pull request. It explains:

• the commands to run;
• what each command checks;
• which manual browser checks are still needed;
• how to understand common errors.

Understand publication

Read Deployment to learn:

• which branch currently supplies the public website;
• what GitHub checks automatically;
• which files must never be published;
• how testing and GitHub Pages differ.
