Be careful to define terms "build" and "deploy"

MichaelChirico opened this issue · comments

I'm not sure the difference between the two, in particular I'm not sure why we would want to "build" without deploying? But just generally, these are very specific terms it might be better to introduce more carefully, even if that means just linking some other documentation.

Here's the first usage of build (outside function names):

We build and deploy for pushes to `main` (or `master`).\

Here's the first usage of deploy:

Now that we've established the meaning of a released (vs dev) site, we have to consider how the site gets rendered and deployed.
