R blogdown : deploy with github actions on gh-pages

Question

Is there a repo somewhere where a blogdown website is builded by github action and where the public directory is then commited to github pages? I would like to see the .github/workflow :)

Thanks !

Answer 1

In fact, using the research functions on github yields a bunch of repo that do it:

https://github.com/search?q=blogdown+path%3A.github%2Fworkflows

So from these examples, the question is solved.

Edit: It's a private repo, but i've copied the .github/worklfows/build.yaml file into this gist: https://gist.github.com/lrnv/17f2c721f4ac30ce55ae335cb83b6639

What it does is that is compiles the blogdown that is pushed on master and deploy the public repo onto the gh-pages branches. I use it for my blog, https://actuarial.science . The secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN variable is automaticaly setted up by github itself, you have nothing to do about it.
