Bug: Successfully pushes to branch only if it does not exist about actions-gh-pages HOT 6 CLOSED

When we set PUBLISH_DIR: ., we have to consider .git and .github.

See #63 and try peaceiris/[email protected].

from actions-gh-pages.

Do you understand that emptyCommits: false does not push always?

And,
Is your publishing file index.html? Try the following.

      - name: Prepare public
        run: |
          mkdir ./public
          mv ./index.html ./public/
      - name: Deploy
        uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v2
        env:
          ACTIONS_DEPLOY_KEY: ${{ secrets.ACTIONS_DEPLOY_KEY }}
          PUBLISH_BRANCH: somebranch
          PUBLISH_DIR: ./public

I reproduced your case on https://github.com/peaceiris/test-elm/commit/96e06d5f030a01d0fb7efd8b6713c032d731e9da/checks?check_suite_id=370791432

Did you get a message like this?

INFO: Allowing empty commits: false
On branch somebranch
nothing to commit, working tree clean
INFO: No changes detected, skipping deployment

This is an expected behavior of emptyCommits: false.

Thank you for you response (and for all your work).
I understand emptyCommits option as a way to avoid pushing in case when build was not changed. It does not cause a problem.

The solution with PUBLISH_DIR: ./public works well
for some reason it does not work with PUBLISH_DIR: . (even if build was definitely changed)
What is the reason?

Thank you.
