PR Summary

This pull request simplifies the GitHub Actions workflows for deploying documentation to production and staging environments. The changes involve removing unnecessary steps that fetch branches and filter changed files. Specifically, the following modifications were made:

• In both deploy-docs-prod.yaml and deploy-docs-staging.yaml:
  • Removed the fetch-depth: 0 option from the actions/checkout@v2 step, which was previously fetching the entire history.
  • Eliminated the steps that fetched the prod and staging branches, respectively.
  • Removed the use of dorny/paths-filter@v2 to check for updates in the site/notebooks/ directory.
  • The conditional creation of the .env file based on the presence of changes in site/notebooks/ was also removed, making the .env file creation unconditional.

These changes streamline the workflow by removing redundant operations, potentially reducing execution time and complexity.

Test Suggestions

• Verify that the documentation deployment workflows still execute successfully without the removed steps.
• Check that the .env file is created unconditionally in both production and staging workflows.
• Ensure that the removal of the fetch and filter steps does not affect the deployment process or introduce any errors.
