## GitHub Actions for deploying to GitHub Pages

A GitHub Action to deploy your static site to GitHub Pages with [Static Site Generators] (Hugo, MkDocs, Gatsby, GitBook, etc.)

[Static Site Generators]: https://www.staticgen.com/



## Getting started

### (1) Add deploy Key

Generate deploy key with the following command.

```sh
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your@email.com" -f gh-pages -N ""

# You will get 2 files:
#   gh-pages.pub (public key)
#   gh-pages     (private key)
```

Next, Go to **Repository Settings**

- Go to **Deploy Keys** and add your public key with the "Allow write access"
- Go to **Secrets** and add your private key as `ACTIONS_DEPLOY_KEY`

### (2) Create `main.workflow`

An example with Hugo action.
