+# Exercise 4: Deploy a Static Site with GitHub Actions
+
+In this exercise, you will create a workflow that uses **GitHub Pages** to deploy a static site online.
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Prepare the Static Site
+
+The `index.html` file is already provided in the `exercise` folder.
+
+---
+
+### 2. Create a Workflow Action
+
+1. In the `.github/workflows/` directory, create a new file named `exercise-4.yml`.
+
+---
+
+### 3. Configure the Workflow
+
+1. **Give the workflow a name**: `"Deploy Static Site"`.
+2. **Trigger the workflow**: Set it to run when pushing to the `main` branch.
+3. **Add the following steps**:
+   - Checkout the repository code using `actions/checkout@v3`.
+   - Deploy to GitHub Pages using `peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3`.
+   - Set the `publish_dir` to point to the `exercise` directory (where `index.html` is located).
+
+---
+
+### 4. Set Up GitHub Pages
+1. Create a branch with the name **gh-pages** if not present
+2. Go to your repository **Settings**.
+3. Select **Pages** and select the **Source** to be Deploy from a branch
+4. Set the branch to the `gh-pages` branch with root.
+
+---
+
+## Tips
+
+- The `peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3` action simplifies deployment by handling the publishing process.
+- Make sure to commit and push the `exercise-4.yml` file to trigger the workflow.
+
+---
+
+Good luck, and happy coding!
