GitHub Actions is a continuous integration system provided by GitHub. We use GitHub Actions to deploy many sites to our hosting environments.
The following is a GitHub Actions definition file that will deploy from GitHub to Pantheon for each branch. If you push to a gbz-123
branch on GitHub, it will deploy to the gbz-123
branch on Pantheon. If you push to the master
branch on GitHub, it will push to the master
branch on Pantheon (the DEV environment). The script uses Kalamuna’s Organizational Secrets and Variables to handle the SSH keys and configuration so that future SSH key updates are made easily. This works for both Pantheon and Acquia.
Installation
In order to set it up…
Add a Repository Variable in your repository settings at https://github.com/REPO/settings/variables/actions named
DEPLOY_REPO
that points to which git repository you would like it to push toCopy the following YAML script to .github/workflows/build-and-deploy.yml
# Kalamuna GitHub Actions Deployment # # This will deploy from GitHub to a git repository through GitHub Actions. # # 1. Add a DEPLOY_REPO variable to your GitHub Actions variables # https://github.com/kalamuna/REPO/settings/secrets/actions # # 2. Add this build-and-deploy.yml file to a .github/workflows folder # # 3.
