## 💅 Customizing
### inputs
2019-09-01 05:28:00 +08:00
Following inputs can be used as `step.with` keys
2019-09-01 04:23:41 +08:00
2019-10-11 08:22:34 +08:00
| Name | Type | Description |
|-----------------|---------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `repo` | String | GitHub repository where assets will be deployed (default current) |
| `target_branch` | String | Git branch where assets will be deployed (default `gh-pages` ) |
2019-11-06 10:02:08 +08:00
| `build_dir` | String | Build directory to deploy **required** |
| `comitter_name` | String | Commit author's name (default [GITHUB_ACTOR ](https://help.github.com/en/github/automating-your-workflow-with-github-actions/using-environment-variables#default-environment-variables ))|
| `comitter_email` | String | Commit author's email (default `GITHUB_ACTOR@users.noreply.github.com` )|

2019-09-01 04:23:41 +08:00
### environment variables
2019-09-01 13:01:38 +08:00
Following environment variables can be used as `step.env` keys
2019-09-01 04:23:41 +08:00
| Name | Description |
|----------------|--------------------------------------|
| `GITHUB_TOKEN` | GITHUB_TOKEN as provided by `secrets` |
2019-09-01 13:01:38 +08:00
| `GITHUB_PAT` | [Personal Access Token ](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line/ ) (see Limitation section below)|
## :warning: Limitation
Currently, `GITHUB_TOKEN` does not suffice to trigger a page build on a **public repository** (propagate content to the GitHub content-delivery network). You must therefore create a custom [Personal Access Token ](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line/ ) and use it through the `GITHUB_PAT` environment variable:
```yaml
- name: Deploy
if: success()
2019-10-11 07:51:17 +08:00
uses: crazy-max/ghaction-github-pages@v1
2019-09-01 13:01:38 +08:00
with:
target_branch: gh-pages
build_dir: public
env:
GITHUB_PAT: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_PAT }}
```
