The GitHub Actions for pushing to GitHub repository local changes authorizing using GitHub token.
With ease:
- update new code placed in the repository, e.g. by running a linter on it,
- track changes in script results using Git as archive,
- publish page using GitHub-Pages,
- mirror changes to a separate repository.
An example workflow to authenticate with GitHub Platform:
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
persist-credentials: false # otherwise, the token used is the GITHUB_TOKEN, instead of your personal access token.
fetch-depth: 0 # otherwise, there would be errors pushing refs to the destination repository.
