Issue 26: Create CI for GitHub pages website

[athowes]

Description

This PR will close #26.

I have run usethis::use_pkgdown_github_pages(). I get the error

Error in `gh::gh()`:
! GitHub API error (404): Not Found
✖ URL not found: <https://api.github.com/repos/epinowcast/epidist>
ℹ Read more at <https://docs.github.com/rest/repos/repos#update-a-repository>
Run `rlang::last_trace()` to see where the error occurred.

which I'm currently trying to fix (though could be a permission thing?).

we don't want the master stuff here

[seabbs]

why role this back?

[athowes]

I don't know. I used usethis::use_pkgdown_github_pages() and it automatically made these changes. Happy to revert this back forward.

[seabbs]

yes please do.

Any ideas on what I should do (/if I should be aiming) to fix my API issue @seabbs?

The build failure shows the issue with the current pkgdown deployment: https://github.com/epinowcast/epidist/actions/runs/9076507452/job/24939351635?pr=31#step:7:1

It looks like it is due to the enwtheme not being available which relates to your issue about it not having clear usage instructions. The fix is to use the approach that epinowcast takes (having it in the DESCRIPTION as part of the website dependencies but this also suggests that a small prr to enwtheme would really help others in the future.

[athowes]

I believe I have fixed these three issues (version, remove master, add theme dependency [I also added pkgdown, as listed on epinowcast DESCRIPTION]).

[athowes]

The build failed this time due to no bookdown package available: https://github.com/epinowcast/epidist/actions/runs/9084323528/job/24965006900?pr=31

I have added this package to Suggests. It would be nice if there were a way I could test this without fixing where it fails one by one using checks. Let me know if there is a better way I can do it.

[athowes]

This passed now, so perhaps can be reviewed / merged @seabbs.

[seabbs]

Lgtm. Nice one! Note we should start tracking issue resolution in the news file (see the pr checklist and epinowcast)
