- ACTIONS_DEPLOY_KEY: ${{ secrets.ACTIONS_DEPLOY_KEY }}
+ PERSONAL_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.PERSONAL_TOKEN }}NOTES: This action supports
GITHUB_TOKENbut it has some problems to deploy to GitHub Pages. See #9
- ACTIONS_DEPLOY_KEY: ${{ secrets.ACTIONS_DEPLOY_KEY }}
+ GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}By default, a commit will always be generated and pushed to the PUBLISH_BRANCH, even if nothing changed. If you want to suppress this behavior, set the optional parameter emptyCommits to false. cf. Issue #21
For example:
- name: deploy
uses: peaceiris/[email protected]
env:
ACTIONS_DEPLOY_KEY: ${{ secrets.ACTIONS_DEPLOY_KEY }}
PUBLISH_BRANCH: gh-pages
PUBLISH_DIR: ./public
with:
emptyCommits: falsehexo, gitbook, vuepress, react-static, gridsome, etc.
