## GitHub Actions for GitHub Pages
[](https://github.com/peaceiris/actions-gh-pages/blob/main/LICENSE)
[](https://github.com/peaceiris/actions-gh-pages/releases/latest)
[](https://github.com/peaceiris/actions-gh-pages/releases)
[](https://www.codefactor.io/repository/github/peaceiris/actions-gh-pages)
This is a **GitHub Action** to deploy your static files to **GitHub Pages**.
This deploy action can be combined simply and freely with [Static Site Generators]. (Hugo, MkDocs, Gatsby, mdBook, Next, Nuxt, and so on.)
[Static Site Generators]: https://www.staticgen.com/
The next example step will deploy `./public` directory to the remote `gh-pages` branch.
```yaml
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
publish_dir: ./public
```
For newbies of GitHub Actions:
Note that the `GITHUB_TOKEN` is **NOT** a personal access token.
A GitHub Actions runner automatically creates a `GITHUB_TOKEN` secret to authenticate in your workflow.
So, you can start to deploy immediately without any configuration.
### Supported Tokens
Three tokens are supported.
| Token | Private repo | Public repo | Protocol | Setup |
|---|:---:|:---:|---|---|
| `github_token` | ✅️ | ✅️ | HTTPS | Unnecessary |
| `deploy_key` | ✅️ | ✅️ | SSH | Necessary |
| `personal_token` | ✅️ | ✅️ | HTTPS | Necessary |
Notes: Actually, the `GITHUB_TOKEN` works for deploying to GitHub Pages but it has still some limitations.
For the first deployment, we need to select the `gh-pages` branch or another branch on the repository settings tab.
See [First Deployment with `GITHUB_TOKEN`](#%EF%B8%8F-first-deployment-with-github_token)
### Supported Platforms
All Actions runners: Linux (Ubuntu), macOS, and Windows are supported.
| runs-on | `github_token` | `deploy_key` | `personal_token` |
|---|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| ubuntu-20.04 | ✅️ | ✅️ | ✅️ |
| ubuntu-18.04 | ✅️ | ✅️ | ✅️ |
| ubuntu-16.04 | ✅️ | ✅️ | ✅️ |
| macos-latest | ✅️ | ✅️ | ✅️ |
| windows-latest | ✅️ | (2) | ✅️ |

## Options
### ⭐️ Set Runner's Access Token `github_token`
**This option is for `GITHUB_TOKEN`, not a personal access token.**
A GitHub Actions runner automatically creates a `GITHUB_TOKEN` secret to use in your workflow. You can use the `GITHUB_TOKEN` to authenticate in a workflow run.
```yaml
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
publish_dir: ./public
```
For more details about `GITHUB_TOKEN`: [Authenticating with the GITHUB_TOKEN - GitHub Help](https://help.github.com/en/actions/configuring-and-managing-workflows/authenticating-with-the-github_token)
### ⭐️ Set SSH Private Key `deploy_key`
Read [Create SSH Deploy Key](#%EF%B8%8F-create-ssh-deploy-key), create your SSH deploy key, and set the `deploy_key` option like the following.
```yaml
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
deploy_key: ${{ secrets.ACTIONS_DEPLOY_KEY }}
publish_dir: ./public
```
### ⭐️ Set Personal Access Token `personal_token`
[Generate a personal access token (`repo`)](https://github.com/settings/tokens) and add it to Secrets as `PERSONAL_TOKEN`, it works as well as `ACTIONS_DEPLOY_KEY`.
```yaml
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
personal_token: ${{ secrets.PERSONAL_TOKEN }}
publish_dir: ./public
```
### ⭐️ Set Another GitHub Pages Branch `publish_branch`
Set a branch name to use as GitHub Pages branch.
The default is `gh-pages`.
```yaml
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
publish_branch: your-branch # default: gh-pages
```
### ⭐️ Source Directory `publish_dir`
A source directory to deploy to GitHub Pages. The default is `public`.
```yaml
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
publish_dir: ./out # default: public
```
### ⭐️ Deploy to Subdirectory `destination_dir`
*This feature is on beta.*
*Any feedback is welcome at [Issue #324](https://github.com/peaceiris/actions-gh-pages/issues/324)*
A destination subdirectory on a publishing branch. The default is empty.
```yaml
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
destination_dir: subdir
```
### ⭐️ Filter publishing assets `exclude_assets`
*This feature is on beta.*
*Any feedback is welcome at [Issue #163](https://github.com/peaceiris/actions-gh-pages/issues/163)*
Set files or directories to exclude from publishing assets.
The default is `.github`.
Values should be split with a comma.
```yaml
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
exclude_assets: '.github,exclude-file1,exclude-file2'
```
Set `exclude_assets` to empty for including the `.github` directory to deployment assets.
```yaml
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
deploy_key: ${{ secrets.ACTIONS_DEPLOY_KEY }} # Recommended for this usage
# personal_token: ${{ secrets.PERSONAL_TOKEN }} # An alternative
# github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} # This does not work for this usage
exclude_assets: ''
```
The `exclude_assets` option supports glob patterns.
```yaml
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
exclude_assets: '.github,exclude-file.txt,exclude-dir/**.txt'
```
### ⭐️ Add CNAME file `cname`
To add `CNAME` file, we can set the `cname` option.
For more details about `CNAME`, read the official documentation: [Managing a custom domain for your GitHub Pages site - GitHub Help](https://help.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/managing-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site)
```yaml
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
publish_dir: ./public
cname: github.com
```
### ⭐️ Enable Built-in Jekyll `enable_jekyll`
If you want GitHub Pages to process your site with the static site generator Jekyll, set `enable_jekyll` to true.
[github/personal-website](https://github.com/peaceiris/actions-gh-pages#%EF%B8%8F-githubpersonal-website) is one of the examples using GitHub Pages built-in Jekyll.
By default, this action signals to GitHub Pages that the site shall not be processed with Jekyll. This is done by adding an empty `.nojekyll` file when publishing to the master or gh-pages branch. When a `.nojekyll` file already exists, this action does nothing.
Bypassing Jekyll makes the deployment faster and is necessary if you are deploying files or directories that start with underscores, since Jekyll considers these to be special resources and does not copy them to the final site. You only need to set `enable_jekyll` to true when you want to deploy a Jekyll-powered website and let GitHub Pages do the Jekyll processing.
```yaml
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
publish_dir: ./public
enable_jekyll: true
```
For more details about `.nojekyll`: [Bypassing Jekyll on GitHub Pages - The GitHub Blog](https://github.blog/2009-12-29-bypassing-jekyll-on-github-pages/)
### ⭐️ Allow empty commits `allow_empty_commit`
By default, a commit will not be generated when no file changes. If you want to allow an empty commit, set the optional parameter `allow_empty_commit` to `true`.
For example:
```yaml
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
publish_dir: ./public
allow_empty_commit: true
```
### ⭐️ Keeping existing files `keep_files`
By default, existing files in the publish branch (or only in `destination_dir` if given) will be removed. If you want the action to add new files but leave existing ones untouched, set the optional parameter `keep_files` to `true`.
Note that users who are using a Static Site Generator do not need this option in most cases. Please reconsider your project structure and building scripts, or use a built-in feature of a Static Site Generator before you enable this flag.
- [Static Files | Hugo](https://gohugo.io/content-management/static-files/)
- [Using the Static Folder | Gatsby](https://www.gatsbyjs.com/docs/static-folder/)
For example:
```yaml
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
publish_dir: ./public
keep_files: true
```
With the v3, this option does not support working with the force_orphan option. The next major release (version 4) will support this.
See [the issue #455](https://github.com/peaceiris/actions-gh-pages/issues/455)
### ⭐️ Deploy to external repository `external_repository`
By default, your files are published to the repository which is running this action.
If you want to publish to another repository on GitHub, set the environment variable `external_repository` to `/`.
For example:
```yaml
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
deploy_key: ${{ secrets.ACTIONS_DEPLOY_KEY }}
external_repository: username/external-repository
publish_branch: your-branch # default: gh-pages
publish_dir: ./public
```
You can use `deploy_key` or `personal_token`.
When you use `deploy_key`, set your private key to the repository which includes this action and set your public key to your external repository.
**Note that `GITHUB_TOKEN` has no permission to access to external repositories. Please create a personal access token and set it to `personal_token` like `personal_token: ${{ secrets.PERSONAL_TOKEN }}`.**
Use case:
A GitHub Free Plan account cannot use the GitHub Pages in a private repository. To make your source contents private and deploy it with the GitHub Pages, you can deploy your site from a private repository to a public repository using this option.
- `peaceiris/homepage`: A private repository running this action with `external_repository: peaceiris/peaceiris.github.io`
- `peaceiris/peaceiris.github.io`: A public repository using GitHub Pages
### ⭐️ Force orphan `force_orphan`
We can set the `force_orphan: true` option.
This allows you to make your publish branch with only the latest commit.
```yaml
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
publish_dir: ./public
force_orphan: true
```
### ⭐️ Set Git username and email
Set custom `git config user.name` and `git config user.email`.
A commit is always created with the same user.
```yaml
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
publish_dir: ./public
user_name: 'github-actions[bot]'
user_email: 'github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com'
```
### ⭐️ Set custom commit message
Set a custom commit message.
When we create a commit with a message `docs: Update some post`, a deployment commit will be generated with a message `docs: Update some post ${GITHUB_SHA}`.
```yaml
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
publish_dir: ./public
commit_message: ${{ github.event.head_commit.message }}
```
To set a full custom commit message without a triggered commit hash,
use the `full_commit_message` option instead of the `commit_message` option.
```yaml
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
publish_dir: ./public
full_commit_message: ${{ github.event.head_commit.message }}
```
### ⭐️ Create Git tag
Here is an example workflow.
```yaml
name: github pages
on:
push:
branches:
- main
tags:
- 'v*.*.*'
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-18.04
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Some build
- name: Prepare tag
id: prepare_tag
if: startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/')
run: |
TAG_NAME="${GITHUB_REF##refs/tags/}"
echo "::set-output name=tag_name::${TAG_NAME}"
echo "::set-output name=deploy_tag_name::deploy-${TAG_NAME}"
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
publish_dir: ./public
tag_name: ${{ steps.prepare_tag.outputs.deploy_tag_name }}
tag_message: 'Deployment ${{ steps.prepare_tag.outputs.tag_name }}'
```
Commands on a local machine.
```console
$ # On a main branch
$ git tag -a "v1.2.3" -m "Release v1.2.3"
$ git push origin "v1.2.3"
$ # After deployment
$ git fetch origin
$ git tag
deploy-v1.2.3 # Tag on the gh-pages branch
v1.2.3 # Tag on the main branch
```
## Tips and FAQ
### ⭐️ Create SSH Deploy Key
Generate your deploy key with the following command.
```sh
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "$(git config user.email)" -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`
| Add your public key | Success |
|---|---|
|  |  |
| Add your private key | Success |
|---|---|
|  |  |
### ⭐️ First Deployment with `GITHUB_TOKEN`
The `GITHUB_TOKEN` has limitations for the first deployment so we have to select the GitHub Pages branch on the repository settings tab. After that, do the second deployment like the following pictures.
| First deployment failed | Go to the settings tab |
|---|---|
|  |  |
| Select branch | Deploying again and succeed |
|---|---|
|  |  |
### ⭐️ Use the latest and specific release
We recommend you to use the latest and specific release of this action for stable CI/CD.
It is useful to watch this repository (release only) to check the [latest release] of this action.
[latest release]: https://github.com/peaceiris/actions-gh-pages/releases
For continuous updating, we can use the GitHub native Dependabot.
Here is an example configuration of the bot. The config file is located in `.github/dependabot.yml`.
```yaml
version: 2
updates:
- package-ecosystem: "github-actions"
directory: "/"
schedule:
interval: "daily"
labels:
- "CI/CD"
commit-message:
prefix: ci
```
See the official documentation for more details about the Dependabot: [Keeping your dependencies updated automatically - GitHub Docs](https://docs.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/keeping-your-dependencies-updated-automatically)
### ⭐️ Schedule and Manual Deployment
For deploying regularly, we can set the `on.schedule` workflow trigger.
See [Scheduled events | Events that trigger workflows - GitHub Docs](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/events-that-trigger-workflows#scheduled-events)
For deploying manually, we can set the `on.workflow_dispatch` workflow trigger.
See [Manual events `workflow_dispatch` | Events that trigger workflows - GitHub Docs](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/events-that-trigger-workflows#manual-events)
```yaml
name: github pages
on:
push:
branches:
- main
schedule:
- cron: "22 22 * * *"
workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-18.04
