| Name | Description |

| `GITHUB_TOKEN` | [GITHUB_TOKEN](https://help.github.com/en/actions/configuring-and-managing-workflows/authenticating-with-the-github_token) as provided by `secrets` |
| `GITHUB_PAT` | [Personal Access Token](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line/) (see [Limitation section](#warning-limitation) below)|
## Limitation
Currently, `GITHUB_TOKEN` [does not suffice to trigger a page build](https://github.community/t5/GitHub-Actions/Github-action-not-triggering-gh-pages-upon-push/m-p/26869) 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/) with `repo` permissions and use it through the `GITHUB_PAT` environment variable:
```yaml
- name: Deploy
if: success()
uses: crazy-max/ghaction-github-pages@v1
with:
target_branch: gh-pages
build_dir: public
env:
GITHUB_PAT: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_PAT }}
```
