Try the following.

• Add find ./public -name ".git" -type d -delete
• Fix PUBLISH_BRANCH

    - name: Hugo blog CI
      run: |
        hugo -D
        find ./public -name ".git" -type d -delete

    - name: Deploy
      uses: peaceiris/[email protected]
      env:

Thanks for your help, it works well.

And I have tried different combinations about delete .git and change branch name. The key is change the name of branch.

from actions-gh-pages.

But when I try to commit again with same branch, it occur error.

As I wrote the README, it is better to filter the trigger branch.

on:
  push:
    branches:
    - master

Read the documentation carefully and follow the Git branch system.

I have copy the whole structure of documentation's demo, but it also occur the same error.

From my multiple test, the reason may be we can't build the submodule as first level directory.

git submodule add <git-url> static occur error.

git submodule add <git-url> static/img success.

And if branch is the first time to commit, even if submodule as first level direction, it also success. But when we try to commit second time, It will error.

I got it.

In Hugo project, Hugo copies the files under the static folder to the public folder. With this operation, .git is also copies to the public folder and conflict.

I will create a small patch release to ignore .git directory.

Thank you for reporting.
