Add index_md_path option to copy index.md path based on any file in the repository

[vboulineau]

Add option to publish a file (typically README.md) to the GH Pages, allowing to easily display a homepage on Helm charts URL.

I have an interest in this feature, but it looks like it has stalled and now has conflicts.

If this were rebased (which I am willing to try to help with) might this feature get merged?

[vboulineau]

Hey @plumdog,

I am also still interested to get this merge, and I can surely rebase it. However we'd some feedbacks from maintainers.

I'm ok with this change, need some rebase and also I would like to see comments from @scottrigby / @davidkarlsen / @unguiculus

[unguiculus]

I'll have a look.

What's the rationale behind this? Why don't you just add an index file once to the gh-pages branch? Why does that have to happen on every release?

[vboulineau]

Because file content can change, the idea is to automate the publication. For instance if I want the README.md file to be index.md, I don't want the developer to have to think about copying the README.md to index.md in gh-pages whenever there is a change to it.

I'm inclined to close this. I think it's an edge-case that's outside of scope for the action. This can be solved with vanilla github-actions configs.
