### Keeping Feeds Updated
#### Using Netlify Webhooks
To keep your feeds up to date you'll want to [setup a Build Hook](https://www.netlify.com/docs/webhooks/#incoming-webhooks) for your Netlify site and use another service to ping it every so often to trigger a rebuild. I'd suggeste looking into:

If you already have a server running Linux and some command-line experience it might be simpler to setup a [cron job](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron).
#### Using GitHub Actions
This approach is a little different and requires some modifications to the repository. Netlify started billing for [build minutes](https://www.netlify.com/pricing/faq/) very shortly after I published this project. Running `npm build` and downloading all of the RSS feeds took up a substantial number of this minutes, particulary if you had some kind of process pinging the webhook and trigger a build every 15 minutes or so.
How is the The GitHub Action-based approach different? The same build process runs, but this time it's on GitHub's servers via the Action. It then **commits** the newly created file generated at `./output/index.html` back into the repository. Netlify still gets pinged when the repository is updated, but skips the `npm run build` step on their end, which significantly reduces the number of build minutes required.
**Short Answer**: use the `github-action-publishing` branch for now if you'd prefer to use GitHub Actions to run your builds.
The GitHub Action is setup to build and commit directly to the `master` branch, which is not the best practice. I'd suggest creating a separate branch to checkout and commit changes to in the Action. You could then specify that same branch as the one to checkout and publish on Netlify.
