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
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.
One of the following deployment options must be configured.
| Key | Value Information | Type | Required | Default |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- | -------- |
