# Deploy-Pages
This action is used to deploy [Actions artifacts][artifacts] to GitHub Pages.
## Scope
⚠️ Official support for building Pages with Actions is in public beta at the moment.
## Usage
See [action.yml](action.yml) for the various `inputs` this action supports.
To see real workflows making use of this action, see the [Pages starter-workflows][starter-workflows] that we publish.
This action expects an artifact to have been uploaded from the same workflow using [`actions/upload-pages-artifact`][upload-pages-artifact].
We recommend this action to be used in a dedicated job:
```yaml
jobs:
# Build job
build:
# <Not provided for brevity>
# At a minimum this job should upload artifacts using actions/upload-pages-artifact
# Deploy job
deploy:
# Add a dependency to the build job
needs: build
# Grant GITHUB_TOKEN the permissions required to make a Pages deployment
permissions:
pages: write # to deploy to Pages
id-token: write # to verify the deployment originates from an appropriate source
# Deploy to the github-pages environment
environment:
name: github-pages
url: ${{ steps.deployment.outputs.page_url }}
# Specify runner + deployment step
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Deploy to GitHub Pages
id: deployment
uses: actions/deploy-pages@v1
```
# Security considerations
There are a few important considerations to be aware of:
1. The artifact being deployed must have been uploaded in the same workflow (it can originates from a different job though)
2. The deployment step must at minimum have the following permissions:
- `pages: write`
- `id-token: write`
3. The deployment must target a `github-pages` environment (you may use a different environment name but we don't recommend it)
4. If your Pages site is using a source branch, the deployment must originate from this source branch unless [your environment is protected][environment-protection] in which case the environment protection rules take precedence over the source branch rule
