I have the following Github Actions workflow, which I'd like to generate Python documentation and upload to Github Pages:
name: documentation
on:
push:
branches: [main]
pull_request:
branches: [main]
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
# Standard drop-in approach that should work for most people.
- uses: ammaraskar/sphinx-action@master
with:
docs-folder: "docs/"
# Publish built docs to gh-pages branch.
# ===============================
- name: Commit documentation changes
run: |
git clone https://github.com/<user>/<repo>.git --branch gh-pages --single-branch gh-pages
cp -r docs/_build/html/* gh-pages/
cd gh-pages
touch .nojekyll
git config --local user.email "<email>"
git config --local user.name "<user>"
git add .
git commit -m "Update documentation" -a || true
# The above command will fail if no changes were present, so we ignore
# that.
- name: Push changes
uses: ad-m/github-push-action@master
with:
branch: gh-pages
directory: gh-pages
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
# ===============================
However, it always errors out with:
Cloning into 'gh-pages'...
fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': No such device or address
I'm new to Github Actions -- should I be running something before the clone command? I took this from the sphinx-action-test repo.
