# jekyll-build-pages
A simple GitHub Action for producing Jekyll build artifacts compatible with GitHub Pages.
## Scope
This is used along with [`actions/deploy-pages`](https://github.com/actions/deploy-pages) as part of the official support for building Pages with Actions (currently in public beta for public repositories).
## Usage
A basic Pages deployment workflow with the `jekyll-build-pages` action looks like this.
```yaml
name: Build Jekyll site
on:
push:
branches: ["main"]
permissions:
contents: read
pages: write
id-token: write
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v3
- name: Setup Pages
uses: actions/configure-pages@v3
- name: Build
uses: actions/jekyll-build-pages@v1
- name: Upload artifact
uses: actions/upload-pages-artifact@v1
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
needs: build
steps:
- name: Deploy to GitHub Pages
id: deployment
uses: actions/deploy-pages@v2
environment:
name: github-pages
url: ${{ steps.deployment.outputs.page_url }}
```
To write to a different destination directory, match the inputs of both the `jekyll-build-pages` and [`upload-pages-artifact`](https://github.com/actions/upload-pages-artifact) actions.
```yaml
steps:
- name: Build
uses: actions/jekyll-build-pages@v1
with:
destination: "./output"
- name: Upload artifact
uses: actions/upload-pages-artifact@v1
with:
path: "./output"
```
### Action inputs
| Input | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| `source` | `./` | The directory to build from |
| `destination` | `./_site` | The directory to write output into<br>(this should match the `path` input of the [`actions/upload-pages-artifact`](https://github.com/actions/upload-pages-artifact) action) |
| `future` | `false` | If `true`, writes content dated in the future |
| `build_revision` | `$GITHUB_SHA` | The SHA-1 of the Git commit for which the build is running |
| `verbose` | `false` | If `true`, prints verbose output in logs |
| `token` | `$GITHUB_TOKEN` | The GitHub token used to authenticate API requests |
## Release instructions
In order to release a new version of this Action:
1. Locate the semantic version of the [upcoming release][release-list] (a draft is maintained by the [`draft-release` workflow][draft-release]).
2. Prepare a pull request to update [`action.yml`][action.yml] to reference the incoming version
3. Publish the draft release from the `main` branch with semantic version as the tag name, _with_ the checkbox to publish to the GitHub Marketplace checked. :ballot_box_with_check:
4. After publishing the release, the [`release` workflow][release] will automatically run to create/update the corresponding the major version tag such as `v1`.
⚠️ Environment approval is required. Check the [Release workflow run list][release-workflow-runs].
