A GitHub Action that deploys static files to GitHub Pages, publishing a directory to the gh-pages branch from CI workflows. It works with any static site generator such as Hugo, MkDocs, Gatsby, mdBook, Next.js, and Nuxt.

Use cases

• deploy a static site to github pages from ci
• publish hugo site automatically on push
• deploy mkdocs documentation with github actions
• publish gatsby build output to gh-pages branch
• automate static site deployment without manual steps
• deploy next.js or nuxt static export to github pages

When to choose

• you deploy static sites or docs to GitHub Pages from GitHub Actions
• you want zero-setup deployment using the built-in GITHUB_TOKEN
• you need SSH deploy key or personal token support for private repos
• you use any static site generator and just want to publish a build directory

When to avoid

• you host on Netlify, Vercel, or another platform instead of GitHub Pages
• you need server-side rendering or dynamic hosting rather than static files
• GitHub's official Pages deploy action already covers your simple workflow
