Example

Deploy to production on release

You can setup repo secrets to use in your workflows

name: "Netlify Deploy"

on:
  release:
    types: ["published"]

jobs:
  deploy:
    name: "Deploy"
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v1
      - uses: veloii/action-netlify-deploy@v2.2.1
        with:
          NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN }}
          NETLIFY_SITE_ID: ${{ secrets.NETLIFY_SITE_ID }}
          NETLIFY_DEPLOY_MESSAGE: "Prod deploy v${{ github.ref }}"
          NETLIFY_DEPLOY_TO_PROD: true

Preview Deploy on pull request

name: "Netlify Preview Deploy"

on:
  pull_request:
    types: ["opened", "edited", "synchronize"]

jobs:
  deploy:
    name: "Deploy"
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v1
      - uses: veloii/action-netlify-deploy@v2.2.1
        with:
          NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN }}
          NETLIFY_SITE_ID: ${{ secrets.NETLIFY_SITE_ID }}

Use branch name to deploy

Will deploy branches as https://${branchName}--${siteName}.netlify.app.

An action is used to extract the branch name to avoid fiddling with refs/. Finally, a commit status check is added, linking to the deployed site.

Only the default branch is built for simplicity. Use a similar workflow or standard Netlify integration for the production deployment.

name: "Netlify Previews"

on:
  push:
    branches-ignore:
      - master

jobs:
  deploy:
    name: "Deploy"
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v1

      # Sets the branch name as environment variable
      - uses: nelonoel/branch-name@v1.0.1
      - uses: veloii/action-netlify-deploy@v2.2.1
        with:
          NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN }}
          NETLIFY_SITE_ID: ${{ secrets.NETLIFY_SITE_ID }}
          deploy_alias: ${{ env.BRANCH_NAME }}

      # Creates a status check with link to preview
      - name: Status check
        uses: Sibz/github-status-action@v1.1.1
        with:
          authToken: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          context: Netlify preview
          state: success
          target_url: ${{ env.NETLIFY_PREVIEW_URL }}

Deploy to Netlify only

In case of already having the deployment ready data - we can easily skip the nvm, install and build part via passing:

- name: Deploy to Netlify
  uses: veloii/action-netlify-deploy@v2.2.1
  with:
    NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN }}
    NETLIFY_SITE_ID: ${{ secrets.NETLIFY_SITE_ID }}
    NETLIFY_DEPLOY_MESSAGE: "Deployed from GitHub action"
    NETLIFY_DEPLOY_TO_PROD: true
