This GitHub action allows you to automatically build and deploy your Ghost Theme
from GitHub to any Ghost install, via the Ghost Admin API!

💡 This action expects that you already have a working Ghost install running at least v2.25.5.

1. Generate a set of Ghost Admin API credentials, by configuring a new Custom Integration in Ghost Admin → Integrations.

2. On GitHub, navigate to your theme repository → Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions. Create a secret called GHOST_ADMIN_API_URL containing the API URL and another one called GHOST_ADMIN_API_KEY containing the Admin API Key. Both must be copied exactly from Ghost Admin → Integrations.

3. Once your secrets are in place, copy this example config into .github/workflows/deploy-theme.yml. Then commit and push your changes:

name: Deploy Theme
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master
      - main
jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Deploy Ghost Theme
        uses: TryGhost/action-deploy-theme@v1
        with:
          api-url: ${{ secrets.GHOST_ADMIN_API_URL }}
          api-key: ${{ secrets.GHOST_ADMIN_API_KEY }}

This will trigger a deployment for every commit to master. If you'd like to change the "on" event, see the GitHub action documentation, which shows how to build on Pull Requests, Releases, Tags and more.

The with portion of the workflow must be configured before the action will work. Any secrets must be referenced using the bracket syntax and stored in the GitHub repositories Settings/Secrets menu. You can learn more about setting environment variables with GitHub actions here.

💡 Use exclude to reduce the size of the zip file & keep deployment times minimal.
