Hi @peimanja

I have a question on the requirement, why you don't want to create a branch for test purpose?

Thanks & Regards

Thanks for he quick response. On pull requests we deploy a preview version on netlify using https://github.com/nwtgck/actions-netlify action and after merging the PR we deploy it on Github pages

right now we use https://github.com/helaili/jekyll-action action but we are looking for a better maintained action and yours looks very good.

so adding an option like this:

build_only: ${{ github.event_name == 'pull_request' }}

would only build but won't publish it to github pages branch

from jekyll-deploy-action.

Same here! We're looking for a way to build the site on every branch but only pushing if the source branch is 'main'. This would allow us to test pull requests before merging.

Just wanted to add that another use case (the one I'm looking for) would be when I have multiple sub directories that need building before deploying all together, e.g. a jekyll subdir and a react-project subdir. In the meantime I've taken to cloning this repo locally and removing the publishing functionality. Thanks for the amazing action!

It would also be nice if we could customize the name of the build folder.
