# Recreates the orphan site branch
#
# This workflow is set up as a fallback in cases where the site branch has been deleted
# The workflow to automatically publish the site after a push to the master relies on there already being a functioning site branch
# This will not cause the website to be published; another push to the site branch (e.g. thought the deploy workflow) is necessary for this
name: Recreate Site Branch - ONLY USE IF SITE BRANCH GOT DELETED

# Conditions necessary to trigger a build

# Can only be triggered manually
