GitHub RUN&Publish Action

This action runs build.sh and pushes the generated content to Git Hub Pages site.

Environment variables

• GH_PAGES_BRANCH (optional): override the default gh-pages deployment branch
• SOURCE_FOLDER (optional): Set path to use as document root content is the default configuration file
• DONOTPUBLISH (optional): Stop after running the command if variable is anything but empty

Setup

Create a .github/workflow/runpublish.yml like:

name: Run build.sh and publish to GHPages

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master
  schedule:
    - cron: "0 * * * *"

jobs:
  runpublish:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2

      # Use GitHub Actions' cache to shorten build times and decrease load on servers
      - uses: actions/[email protected]
        with:
          path: ~/.cache/pip
          key: ${{ runner.os }}-pip-${{ hashFiles('**/requirements/*') }}
          restore-keys: |
            ${{ runner.os }}-pip-

      - uses: iranzo/[email protected]
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}}
          SOURCE_FOLDER: content

Adjust your build.sh for additional commands:

#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p output
echo "Whatever" >  content/mypage.html

Commit and let the GitHub Actions take care of it!
