Hexo Deploy Action

This GitHub action will handle the building and deploying process of hexo project.

Getting Started

You can view an example of this below.

name: Build and Deploy
on: [push]
jobs:
  build-and-deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Checkout
      uses: actions/checkout@master

    - name: Build and Deploy
      uses: hanelalo/hexo-deploy-action@master
      env:
        PERSONAL_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        PUBLISH_REPOSITORY: hanelalo/hanelalo.github.io # The repository the action should deploy to.
        BRANCH: master  # The branch the action should deploy to.
        PUBLISH_DIR: ./public # The folder the action should deploy.
        USER_EMAIL: your@email.com

if you want to make the workflow only triggers on push events to specific branches, you can like this:

on:
  push:	
    branches:	
      - master

The env portion of the workflow must be configured before the action will work. You can add these in the env section found in the examples above.
