💅 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) |
keep_history |
Bool | Create incremental commit instead of doing push force (default false) |
allow_empty_commit |
Bool | Allow an empty commit to be created (default true) |
build_dir |
String | Build directory to deploy (required) |
committer_name |
String | Commit author's name (default GITHUB_ACTOR or github-actions) |
committer_email |
String | Commit author's email (default <committer_name>@users.noreply.github.com) |
commit_message |
String | Commit message (default Deploy to GitHub pages) |
fqdn |
String | Write the given domain name to the CNAME file |
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 (see Limitation section below) |
⚠️ 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 and use it through the GITHUB_PAT environment variable:
- 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 }}
