Ensure that your workflow has Read and write permissions within https://github.com/YOUR-NAME/REPO-NAME/settings/actions
Test workflow within the Actions tab in your repository
Once the workflow completes successfully, you will see a file named data.json within your SAVE_LOCATION (i.e. likes-elonmusk/data.json) which will be created even if the SAVE_LOCATION directory does not exist
Add a basic index.html file to your repository's Code base
Enable GitHub Pages on this repo's main branch
Make an HTTPS GET request to retrieve your refreshed JSON file at https://YOUR-NAME.github.io/REPO-NAME/likes-elonmusk/data.json
