## Usage
### Workflow
Below is a simple snippet to deploy to GitHub Pages with a dummy HTML page.
A [workflow](https://github.com/crazy-max/ghaction-github-pages/actions?query=workflow%3Aci) is also available for this repository and deploys [everyday to GitHub pages](https://crazy-max.github.io/ghaction-github-pages/).
```yaml
name: website
on: push
jobs:
publish:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
-
name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v2
-
name: Gen dummy page
run: |
mkdir public
cat > public/index.html <<EOL
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>GitHub Pages deployed!</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>GitHub Pages with <strong>${{ github.sha }}</strong> commit ID has been deployed through <a href="https://github.com/marketplace/actions/github-pages">GitHub Pages action</a> successfully.</p>
</body>
</html>

with:
target_branch: gh-pages
build_dir: public
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
```
### Sign commits

with:
gpg-private-key: ${{ secrets.GPG_PRIVATE_KEY }}
passphrase: ${{ secrets.PASSPHRASE }}
git-user-signingkey: true
git-commit-gpgsign: true

if: success()
uses: crazy-max/ghaction-github-pages@v2
with:
target_branch: gh-pages
build_dir: public
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
```
### Check availability of GitHub Pages
You can use the [GitHub Status](https://github.com/crazy-max/ghaction-github-status) Action along with this one to check availability of GitHub Pages before deploying:
```yaml
-
name: Check GitHub Pages status
uses: crazy-max/ghaction-github-status@v2
with:
pages_threshold: major_outage
-
name: Deploy to GitHub Pages
if: success()
uses: crazy-max/ghaction-github-pages@v2
with:
target_branch: gh-pages
build_dir: public
env:

```

## Keep up-to-date with GitHub Dependabot
Since [Dependabot](https://docs.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/keeping-your-actions-up-to-date-with-github-dependabot)
has [native GitHub Actions support](https://docs.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/configuration-options-for-dependency-updates#package-ecosystem),
to enable it on your GitHub repo all you need to do is add the `.github/dependabot.yml` file:
```yaml
version: 2
updates:
# Maintain dependencies for GitHub Actions
- package-ecosystem: "github-actions"
directory: "/"
schedule:
interval: "daily"
```
