## ✨ About
A GitHub Action to deploy to GitHub Pages
If you are interested, [check out](https://git.io/Je09Y) my other :octocat: GitHub Actions!
> **:warning: Note:** To use this action, you must have access to the [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/features/actions) feature. GitHub Actions are currently only available in public beta. You can [apply for the GitHub Actions beta here](https://github.com/features/actions/signup/).
## 🚀 Usage
Below is a simple snippet to deploy to GitHub Pages. A [live example](https://github.com/crazy-max/ghaction-github-pages/actions) is also available for this repository.
```yaml
name: website
on: push
jobs:
publish:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
-
name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v1
-
name: Build
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>
EOL
-
name: Deploy
if: success()
uses: crazy-max/ghaction-github-pages@v1
with:
target_branch: gh-pages
build_dir: public
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
```
## 💅 Customizing
### inputs
Following inputs can be used as `step.with` keys
| 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`) |
| `build_dir` | String | Build directory to deploy (**required**) |
| `commit_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) or `github-actions`) |
| `commit_email` | String | Commit author's email (default `<committer_name>@users.noreply.github.com`) |
| `commit_message`| String | Commit message (default `Deploy to GitHub pages`) |
### environment variables
Following environment variables can be used as `step.env` keys
| Name | Description |
|----------------|--------------------------------------|
| `GITHUB_TOKEN` | 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 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()
uses: crazy-max/ghaction-github-pages@v1
with:
target_branch: gh-pages
build_dir: public
env:
GITHUB_PAT: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_PAT }}
```
