This Action has been migrated to a TypeScript Action (version 3).
The old Docker Action is peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v2
GitHub Actions for GitHub 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, GitBook, mdBook, etc.)
The next example step will deploy ./public directory to the remote gh-pages branch.
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
publish_dir: ./public

Getting started
⭐️ Repository type - Project
Add your workflow file .github/workflows/gh-pages.yml and push to the remote master branch.
An example workflow for Hugo.
name: github pages
on:
push:
branches:
- master
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-18.04
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v1
# with:
# submodules: true
- name: Setup Hugo
uses: peaceiris/actions-hugo@v2
with:
hugo-version: '0.64.0'
- name: Build
run: hugo --minify
- name: Deploy

⭐️ Repository type - User and Organization
For User and Organization Pages sites (<username>/<username>.github.io repository),
we have to set master branch to publish_branch.
A default value of publish_branch is gh-pages.
on:
push:
branches:
- source # default branch
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-18.04
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- run: somebuild
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
publish_dir: ./public
publish_branch: master # deploying branch
Options
⭐️ deploy_key
Read ⭐️ Create SSH Deploy Key, create your SSH deploy key, and set the deploy_key option like the following.
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
deploy_key: ${{ secrets.ACTIONS_DEPLOY_KEY }}
publish_dir: ./public
⭐️ personal_token
Generate a personal access token (repo) and add it to Secrets as PERSONAL_TOKEN, it works as well as ACTIONS_DEPLOY_KEY.
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
personal_token: ${{ secrets.PERSONAL_TOKEN }}
publish_dir: ./public
⭐️ 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
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
publish_dir: ./public
cname: github.com
⭐️ Disable .nojekyll
By default, this action adds the .nojekyll file to only the master and gh-pages branches. When the file already exists, this action does nothing.
To disable this behavior, we can set the disable_nojekyll option to true.
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
publish_dir: ./public
disable_nojekyll: true
For more details about .nojekyll: Bypassing Jekyll on GitHub Pages - The GitHub Blog
⭐️ Allow empty commits
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:
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
publish_dir: ./public
allow_empty_commit: true
⭐️ Keeping existing files
By default, existing files in the publish branch are removed before adding the ones from publish dir. If you want the action to add new files but leave existing ones untouched, set the optional parameter keep_files to true.
For example:
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
publish_dir: ./public
keep_files: true
⭐️ Deploy to 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 <username>/<external-repository>.
For example:
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
deploy_key: ${{ secrets.ACTIONS_DEPLOY_KEY }}
external_repository: username/external-repository
publish_branch: master
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.
Be careful, GITHUB_TOKEN has no permission to access to external repositories.
⭐️ Force orphan
We can set the force_orphan: true option.
This allows you to make your publish branch with only the latest commit.
- 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.
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
publish_dir: ./public
user_name: iris
user_email: iris@peaceiris.com
⭐️ Set custom commit message
Set 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}.
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
publish_dir: ./public
commit_message: ${{ github.event.head_commit.message }}
⭐️ Create Git tag
Here is an example workflow.
name: github pages
on:
push:
branches:
- master
tags:
- 'v*.*.*'
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-18.04
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Some build
- name: Prepare tag
id: prepare_tag
if: startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/')
run: |
TAG_NAME="${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.
$ # On the master 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 master branch
Tips and FAQ
⭐️ Create 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
| Add your public key | Success |
|---|---|
 |
 |
| Add your private key | Success |
