Research direction

The issue concerns the gh-pages branch, MkDocs deployment via mkdocs gh-deploy --force, and Heroku CI. Start by inspecting the GitHub Actions workflow and CI configuration; done means updates to gh-pages no longer trigger the test run that currently fails.

Description

on-call reviewed question

The gh-pages is managed by MkDocs, I not want every time MkDocs is deployed with Github Actions with the command mkdocs gh-deploy --force, because that branch never ever would contains tests, that cause the CI in Heroku fail each time this branch is updated, but that is a bad approach and ends by waste the resources and money of Heroku and me
