[This automation](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/deploy-ghost-theme) is very promising 🙂

Question: can I define which **branch** the CI should pull the code from?

In my case I would have two **branches** :

- “ **master** ” would be where I develop the theme
- “ **dist** ” is the output of `gulp build` ready to be uploaded on my ghost site

> Build & deploy a theme to your Ghost site

Thank you!

I’m pretty sure you could customize it for whichever branch you want it to run on. The yml file lists the branch, action, etc.

```auto
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master
jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-18.04
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@master

```

That seems to work 🙂 Will test 🙂
