Contributing

When contributing to this repository, please first discuss the change you wish to make via issue, email, or any other method with the owners of this repository before making a change.

Pull Request Best Practices

  1. Ensure that you've tested your feature/change yourself. As the primary focus of this project is deployment, providing a link to a deployed repository using your branch is preferred. You can reference the forked action using your GitHub username, for example yourname/github-pages-deplpy-action@master.
  2. Make sure you update the README if you've made a change that requires documentation.
  3. When making a pull request, highlight any areas that may cause a breaking change so the maintainer can update the version number accordingly on the GitHub marketplace.

Deploying

In order to deploy and test your own fork of this action, you must commit the required node_modules dependencies. Be sure to run nvm use before installing any dependencies. You can learn more about nvm here.

To do this you can follow the instructions below:

Install the project:

yarn install

Comment out the following in distribution branches:

# node_modules/

Build the project:

yarn build

Commit:

$ git checkout -b branchnamehere
$ git commit -a -m "prod dependencies"

The node_modules folder should not be included when making a pull request. These are only required for GitHub Actions when it consumes the distribution branch branch, the dev branch of the project should be free from any dependencies or lib files.
