GitHub Actions customization

Once you have connected Deploy Now to your repository, you will notice that we have injected a ionos-space.yml file into .github/workflows/. This file defines how the GitHub Actions workflow is set up. You can make changes to this file to customize the workflow. However, you should try to avoid changes or deletions of fetch project data, checkout project and deploy buildto ensure that the deployment works as expected.

Sample file

This sample of an ionos-space.yml file demonstrates a common workflow.

name: Deploy-Now

# Triggered when code is pushed to any branch in a repository
on: [push]

- name: Checkout project
  if: ${{ steps.project.outputs.deployment-enabled == 'true' }}
  uses: actions/checkout@v2
  with:
    submodules: 'recursive'

Setup project

Set up build runtime:

- name: Setup project
  if: ${{ steps.project.outputs.deployment-enabled == 'true' }}
  uses: actions/setup-node@v1
  with:

  with:
    service-host: api-eu.ionos.space
    branch-id: ${{ steps.project.outputs.branch-id }}
    storage-quota: ${{ steps.project.outputs.storage-quota }}
