Document what to do with a failing workflow #38

Open zkamvar opened 1 year ago

zkamvar commented 1 year ago

If someone creates a lesson outside of The Carpentries and they do not update their workflows, they might run into a situation like this where a workflow has outdated components and no longer runs:

screenshot of email that says 01 Build and Deploy Site: All jobs have failed with a button that says "View workflow run" followed by a red circle with an x through it and an annotation that says "failed in 21 seconds"

If this is a toy repository, they should delete it. If this is a repository with lesson content that they need updating, they should add a SANDPAPER_WORKFLOW secret to their repository and run the 02 Maintain: Update Workflow Files action to create a pull request that will update the workflow files.
