Sample workflow to deploy a Static Web Site to Azure Blob Storage

# File: .github/workflows/workflow.yml

on: [push]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps: 
    - name: Checkout the code
      uses: actions/checkout@v3
    - name: Deploy the website
      uses: tibor19/static-website-deploy@v2
      with:
        enabled-static-website: 'true'
        folder: 'MyFolder'
        connection-string: ${{ secrets.CONNECTION_STRING }}

Configure connection string:

For any credentials like Azure Service Principal, Publish Profile, Connection Strings, etc add them as secrets in the GitHub repository and then use them in the workflow.

The above example uses the Connection String of your Azure Storage Account.

There are several ways to connect to your Azure Storage Account:

• If you are using a connection string, you can use the following steps to configure the secret:

  • Follow the tutorial Configure Azure Storage connection strings.
  • Define a new secret as part of your repository or organization settings.
  • Give the secret a name ex CONNECTION_STRING.
  • Paste the connection string file into the secret's value field.

• If you want to use an Azure AD identity, you need call az login, or run the azure/login action prior to this step, and specify the storage-account-name parameter. Make sure that the Azure AD identity has the Storage Account Contributor and Storage Blob Data Contributor roles on the storage account.

• If you want to use a storage account key, then specify the storage-account-name and storage-account-key parameters.
