GitHub Action
Connect a May First shell account
GitHub action to connect to May First shell
Adaptation of this original bash script by co-op member Jamie McClelland to work with GitHub actions.
This script was designed to work with May First's 2023 infrastructure upgrade, and to run immediately before the nogsantos/ssh-scp-deploy SSH/SCP deploy action.
Add the below to a file at .github-workflows/main.yml in your repository, replace the variables for your purpose, and be sure to add the correct secrets in your repository settings:
SSH_USER: your May First usernameSSH_HOST: shell.mayfirst.orgSSH_PORT: 22SSH_DIR: the target (your web configuration root folder's complete filepath)SSH_KEY: your private keyPASSWORD: your SSH user's password, as a fallback authenticatoin method (SSH key recommended)
...and lastly, be sure to replace the src property in the nogsantos/ssh-scp-deploy step with the actual static site build directory. The inital use case for this script is a SvelteKit application using the static adapter, so the common static build directory name ./build/* is listed as the example.
