โ ๏ธ Note: To use this action, you must have access to the GitHub Actions feature. GitHub Actions are currently only available in public beta. You can apply for the GitHub Actions beta here.
This simple action uses the vanilla AWS CLI to sync a directory (either from your repository or generated during your workflow) with a remote S3 bucket.
Place in a .yml
file such as this one in your .github/workflows
folder. Refer to the documentation on workflow YAML syntax here.
As of v0.3.0, all aws s3 sync
flags are optional to allow for maximum customizability (that's a word, I promise) and must be provided by you via args:
.
--acl public-read
makes your files publicly readable (make sure your bucket settings are also set to public).--follow-symlinks
won't hurt and fixes some weird symbolic link problems that may come up.- Most importantly,
--delete
permanently deletes files in the S3 bucket that are not present in the latest version of your repository/build. - Optional tip: If you're uploading the root of your repository, adding
--exclude '.git/*'
prevents your.git
folder from syncing, which would expose your source code history if your project is closed-source. (To exclude more than one pattern, you must have one--exclude
flag per exclusion. The single quotes are also important!)
