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.)
Getting started
(1) Add ssh deploy key
Generate your deploy key with the following command.
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
