(Migrated from github.com)

Summary

Replaces OCI registry publishing (oci://ghcr.io/cpfarhood/charts) with a GitHub Pages-based Helm repository at https://cpfarhood.github.io/devcontainer
The unified release workflow now packages the chart, copies it to the gh-pages branch, and maintains the index.yaml index file
Auto-creates the gh-pages branch with a landing page on first release run
Updated release notes template to show helm repo add instructions

After merging

Enable GitHub Pages in repo settings: Settings → Pages → Source: Deploy from branch → Branch: gh-pages → / (root)
Next release will auto-create the gh-pages branch and publish the chart

New install workflow

helm repo add devcontainer https://cpfarhood.github.io/devcontainer
helm repo update
helm install mydev devcontainer/devcontainer --set name=mydev

Test plan

Merge PR and trigger a release via workflow_dispatch
Verify gh-pages branch is created with index.yaml and .tgz chart package
Enable GitHub Pages in repo settings if not already enabled
Verify helm repo add devcontainer https://cpfarhood.github.io/devcontainer works
Verify helm search repo devcontainer shows the chart
