Getting Started ✈️

You can include the action in your workflow to trigger on any event that GitHub actions supports. If the remote branch that you wish to deploy to doesn't already exist the action will create it for you. Your workflow will also need to include the actions/checkout step before this workflow runs in order for the deployment to work.

If you'd like to make it so the workflow only triggers on push events to specific branches then you can modify the on section.

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master

Configuration 📁

The with portion of the workflow must be configured before the action will work. You can add these in the with section found in the examples above. Any secrets must be referenced using the bracket syntax and stored in the GitHub repositories Settings/Secrets menu. You can learn more about setting environment variables with GitHub actions here.

Required Setup

One of the following deployment options must be configured.

| Key | Value Information | Type | Required | Default |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- | -------- |
| PYTHON_VERSION | You should provide your python version.' | with | Yes | 3.6.10 |
| PROJECT_PATH | To provide you python location at which this security check needed to be done. | with | No | "." |
