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

Getting started

(1) Add deploy Key

   • You will get 2 files: gh-pages.pub (public key) and gh-pages (private key)
2. Go to "Settings > Deploy Keys" of repository.
3. Add your public key within "Allow write access" option.
4. Go to "Settings > Secrets" of repository.
5. Add your private key as ACTIONS_DEPLOY_KEY

(2) Create main.workflow

An example with Hugo action.
