Git Permissions Issue

Hey there Crazy Max. I’m trying to publish the contents of my build folder using this action. Here’s my configuration:

name: Publish
uses: crazy-max/ghaction-github-pages@v1
with:
  target_branch: gh-pages
  build_dir: build
env:
  GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

When I get to the publish action, I run into this error:

🏃 Deploying build directory to gh-pages branch on LandonSchropp/landonschropp.com repo
git init
/home/runner/work/landonschropp.com/landonschropp.com/build/.git: Permission denied
##[error]The process 'git' failed with exit code 1
##[error]Node run failed with exit code 1

It looks like the error is happening here. However, I can’t figure out why the build directory would have any weird permissions. Did the action somehow get pointed the wrong place? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

That did the trick! Thanks for all the help and for the explanation. 🙂

I also appreciate you pointing out cache and showing me your workflow. I wish I had seen that a few hours ago—it would have made this process much quicker.

Thanks again!

That’s strange, it seems to be working for me. 🤷
