Hi all,

I am admittedly not very experienced with continuous deployments, but I have set up my Zola site with GitHub Actions as stated in the documentation and, although it works, I am wondering why GitHub is still running its default actions (for deploying Jekyll sites) alongside (after) the Zola action.

Here you can see that two Actions were triggered based off the most recent push.

Is there a way to fix this so that the “pages build and deployment” Actions no longer run?

Actually unless I’m mistaken you want it to run. It does more than build Jekyll pages. I think it’s also responsible for the deployment part. But just curios what’s the problem you have with it running?
