Deploying a Hakyll website using Github Pages and CircleCI 2.0

One of the last things left to figure out when I was about to lauch this website was finding a workflow to nicely deploy it. I was using Jekyll + Github Pages for my old website and it was working well enough for me so I didn’t want to radically change the way I was doing things. On the other hand I didn’t update my old website in a while and I am new to Hakyll so I had to figure out if I could keep a similar workflow. I ended up spending a few hours figuring out a solution I was happy with and the following is a description of my present workflow and how I got to it.
