+
+## :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()
+  uses: crazy-max/ghaction-github-pages@master
+  with:
+    target_branch: gh-pages
+    build_dir: public
+  env:
+    GITHUB_PAT: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_PAT }}
+```
 
 ## 🤝 How can I help ?
