Add GitHub Actions workflow to build website via Nuke and Jekyll

[Copilot]

Adds .github/workflows/build.yml — a CI workflow that runs on every push and pull request to master with two independent parallel jobs:

Nuke build job (windows-latest):

• Converts the PSake script (Build/default.ps1) into a C#/Nuke build project (build/_build.csproj + build/Build.cs) using Nuke.Common
• Replicates all five PSake tasks: Clean, ExtractVersionsFromGit, Compile, CompileCheatsheet, and BuildHtml
• Uses Nuke's built-in GitVersionTasks (with SetProcessToolPath pointing to the bundled Lib/GitVersion.exe) instead of raw process invocation
• Calls the bundled Lib/Pandoc/pandoc.exe for HTML generation (requires fetch-depth: 0 for GitVersion)
• Invoked via the standard Nuke bootstrap script: .\build.ps1 Default

Jekyll build job (ubuntu-latest):

• Runs the JekyllBuild Nuke target via ./build.sh JekyllBuild to verify the static site compiles correctly
• The JekyllBuild Nuke target handles the full Jekyll setup: runs bundle install then bundle exec jekyll build — no Ruby tooling configured in the workflow YAML

Key details:

• The two jobs are independent and run in parallel — Nuke produces standalone HTML artifacts; Jekyll builds the static website from the same Markdown sources
• GITHUB_TOKEN permissions are restricted to contents: read on both jobs
• Standard Nuke bootstrap scripts (build.ps1 / build.sh) handle .NET SDK detection and installation automatically — no separate setup-dotnet step needed
• Nuke build artifacts (build/bin/, build/obj/) and the Nuke temp directory (.nuke/temp/) are excluded via .gitignore

1. Convert the PSake script into a C#/Nuke build project. See https://github.com/nuke-build/nuke
2. Don't only run the new C#/Nuke project, I also want you to use the Jekyll steps to make sure the site can be build correctly with the bundler and such

Done in commit 55d76a8.

Nuke build project (build/_build.csproj + build/Build.cs): Converts the PSake script into a C#/Nuke build with the same five tasks — Clean, ExtractVersionsFromGit, Compile, CompileCheatsheet, and BuildHtml. It calls the bundled Lib/GitVersion.exe and Lib/Pandoc/pandoc.exe exactly as the PSake script did.

Jekyll steps added: A new jekyll job on ubuntu-latest runs bundle exec jekyll build via ruby/setup-ruby@v1 with bundler cache. The two CI jobs are independent and run in parallel — Nuke produces standalone HTML artifacts; Jekyll builds the static site from the same Markdown sources.

Updated workflow:

jobs:
  build:          # windows-latest: dotnet run --project build/_build.csproj -- Default
  jekyll:         # ubuntu-latest:  bundle exec jekyll build

I want this to be part of the Nuke script as well.

[Copilot]

Done in commit 509774e. Added a JekyllBuild target to build/Build.cs:

Target JekyllBuild => _ => _
    .Executes(() =>
    {
        ProcessTasks.StartProcess("bundle", "exec jekyll build", RootDirectory)
            .AssertZeroExitCode();
    });

The jekyll CI job now invokes this via ./build.sh JekyllBuild instead of calling bundle exec jekyll build directly.

@copilot Then you can remove it from the build.yml, right?

[Copilot]

Done in commit f16399c. ruby/setup-ruby@v1 is removed from the workflow. The jekyll job now just does checkout + ./build.sh JekyllBuild.

[dennisdoomen]

This is not needed as the Nuke build.ps1 should do this for you.

[Copilot]

Done in commit 509774e. The actions/setup-dotnet@v4 step has been removed. build.ps1 detects dotnet on PATH (GitHub runners already have it) and falls back to downloading and installing it only when needed.

[dennisdoomen]

Use the standard build.ps1 Nuke adds to a project

[Copilot]

Done in commit 509774e. Added the standard Nuke bootstrap scripts (build.ps1 for Windows, build.sh for Unix) taken from Nuke's official template. The workflow now uses .\build.ps1 Default for the Windows build job and ./build.sh JekyllBuild for the Linux Jekyll job.

[dennisdoomen]

GitVersion is a built-in feature of Nuke. Use that instead.

[Copilot]

Done in commit 509774e. Replaced ProcessTasks.StartProcess with GitVersionTasks.GitVersion() from Nuke.Common.Tools.GitVersion, using SetProcessToolPath to point to the bundled Lib/GitVersion.exe:

var result = GitVersionTasks.GitVersion(s => s
    .SetProcessToolPath(LibDirectory / "GitVersion.exe")
    .SetProcessWorkingDirectory(RootDirectory));

semVer = result.Result.SemVer;
commitDate = DateTime.Parse(result.Result.CommitDate).ToString("MMMM d, yyyy");

@copilot Running Jekyll should also become part of the Nuke script

[Copilot]

Done in commit f16399c. bundle install is now part of the JekyllBuild Nuke target, so the Nuke script handles the full Jekyll setup:

Target JekyllBuild => _ => _
    .Executes(() =>
    {
        ProcessTasks.StartProcess("bundle", "install", RootDirectory)
            .AssertZeroExitCode();

        ProcessTasks.StartProcess("bundle", "exec jekyll build", RootDirectory)
            .AssertZeroExitCode();
    });
