Simply Web Deploy

This action utilizes Microsoft’s own Web Deploy 3.0+ executable, which you can read everything about here. Further documentation of the rules and parameters can also be seen here.

source-path: '\build\'
target-path: '/my-sub-directory/'- Administrator access to the simply.com account, to access the required credentials.
- Locate the repository you want to automate Simply web deployment in.
- Select the
Actionstab. - Select
Set up a workflow yourself. - Copy paste one of the examples into your .yml workflow file and commit the file.
- All the examples takes advantage of
Secrets, so make sure you have added the required secrets to your repository. Instructions on this can be found in the settings section. - Once you have added your secrets, your new workflow should be running on every push to the branch.
These settings can be either be added directly to your .yml config file or referenced from your GitHub repository Secrets. I strongly recommend storing any private values like server-username and server-password in Secrets, regardless of if the repository is private or not.
To add a secret to your repository go to the Settings tab, followed by Secrets. Here you can add your secrets and reference to them in your .yml file.
