Official Ghost + GitHub Integration #

Created: April 23, 2020 2:28 PM URL: https://ghost.org/integrations/github/ Set up simple continuous integration of your Ghost theme to deploy directly to your Ghost website with GitHub Actions.

Use GitHub Actions to deploy your theme #

GitHub Actions allow you to build simple automation on top of any repository, including running a build command on a theme and pushing the compiled zipfile to the Ghost Admin API. Official%20Ghost%20+%20GitHub%20Integration%205b27867598de4daa9a3b11611b3d6958/image-1.png

Set your Ghost integration credentials in GitHub #

Next, copy and paste your integration details into your GitHub repository’s environment variables. Copy and paste the following code into a new file in your repository under .github/workflows/main.yml - this will automatically use the official Ghost GitHub Action from GitHub’s Marketplace:

name: Deploy Theme
on:
push:
branches:
- master
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-18.04
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@master
- uses: TryGhost/action-deploy-theme@v1.0.0
with:
api-url: ${{ secrets.GHOST_ADMIN_API_URL }}
api-key: ${{ secrets.GHOST_ADMIN_API_KEY }}

Now, every time you push changes to your theme repository, your theme will automatically build and deploy to Ghost Admin.

Use Github Gists to share code snippets #

GitHub Gists are a simple way of sharing code snippets with other developers.

Paste it into a HTML card in the editor #

Create a new HTML block in the Ghost editor on the post you would like to embed your code snippet and paste in the embed code.
