This GitHub action build a Hugo site, and uploads it to Firebase Hosting
- Hugo is a popular static-site generator, that allows you to create a template-based site, and your content is written in Markdown
- Firebase hosting is a cheap option to host your static sites (it has nice things, as a CDN and free HTTPs certs). It's not even needed, you can get the same with GitHub Pages
It needs a Firebase token. You can obtain it installing firebase-tools and doing firebase login-ci.
As the Firebase token is sensitive info, you must save it in a GitHub secret
A simple workload using this action would be something like:
on: [push]
name: Publish blog
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v1
with:
submodules: true
- uses: pulimento/github-action-hugo-deploy-to-firebase@master
with:
firebase-token: ${{ secrets.secret_firebase_token }}
alias: ${{ some_alias }} // OPTIONAL
Happy hacking!
