Attempt to deploy docs using Documenter.jl fails following merge into master with the following error:

```julia
┌ Info: Deployment criteria for deploying devbranch build from GitHub Actions:
│ - ✔ ENV["GITHUB_REPOSITORY"]="Evovest/EvoTrees.jl" occurs in repo="https://github.com/Evovest/EvoTrees.jl"
│ - ✔ ENV["GITHUB_EVENT_NAME"]="push" is "push"
│ - ✔ ENV["GITHUB_REF"] matches devbranch="master"
│ - ✔ ENV["GITHUB_ACTOR"] exists and is non-empty
│ - ✔ ENV["DOCUMENTER_KEY"] exists and is non-empty
└ Deploying: ✔
ERROR: LoadError: The repo path https://github.com/Evovest/EvoTrees.jl should not contain the protocol

```

However, the CI completes successully during the PR, it’s only the build step on master which returns the above failure.

I understand from the message error that Documenter.jl expects `repo` to be `Evovest/EvoTrees.jl` rather than `https://github.com/Evovest/EvoTrees.jl`, but given I’m using a vanilla CI configuration, I suspect something else must have gone wrong.

AFAIK, CI could complete prior to adding the `DOCUMENTER_KEY: ${{ secrets.DOCUMENTER_KEY }}`, if that may have had any impact.

The CI workflow is the following:

```julia
  docs:
    name: Documentation
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: julia-actions/setup-julia@v1
        with:
          version: '1'
      - name: Install dependencies
        run: julia --project=docs/ -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.develop(PackageSpec(path=pwd())); Pkg.instantiate()'
      - name: Build and deploy
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} # If authenticating with GitHub Actions token
          DOCUMENTER_KEY: ${{ secrets.DOCUMENTER_KEY }} # If authenticating with SSH deploy key
        run: julia --project=docs/ docs/make.jl

```

Any hint on some checks would be welcome!

The error message was indeed all that was needed (and some rest time for me to act rationnally), as the fix simply involved an appropriate configuration in the `make.jl` file:

```julia
deploydocs(repo="github.com/Evovest/EvoTrees.jl.git", 
    target="build",
    push_preview=false)

```
