action-netlify-deploy

🙌 Netlify deployments via GitHub actions

About

A Github action that deploys a build directory to Netlify. It can be configured to comment on the commit or PR with the deploy URL or deploy with GitHub environments, deploy draft builds, deploy Netlify functions and use custom Netlify configs.

Getting started

There are 4 required inputs for the action

• github-token which is usually ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
• netlify-auth-token this is a personal access token created from your Netlify account
  • ⚠️ This should be stored as a Github secret in your repo
• netlify-site-id this is the API ID of your Netlify site
  • To find this, go to your site's settings and in the "site information" copy the API ID field
• build-dir this is where your site build outputs to relative to the root of your projects folder

See the action.yml for other action inputs and their descriptions

Outputs

preview-url

The url of deployment preview.

preview-name

The name of deployment name.

Usage

Here are some ideas of how to configure this action in different workflows...

• Deploying drafts on each commit and publishing on push to master
• Deploying drafts of pull requests and publishing on push to master
• Deploying drafts of pull requests and publish on release created

Deploying drafts on each commit and publishing on push to master
