This is specifically for an Astro site, but should work for any statically generated site (or SPA?) site.

Add the following secrets to your GH Repo:

NFSN_PASSWORD - your member pw
NFSN_USERNAME - username for SSH
NFSN_HOSTNAME - your hostname

This will deploy to static type hosting at nearly free speech - the ssh path might need to be changed for other types of hosting
