Hi everyone,

I wonder if it is possible to deploy a theme with Github Actions to several Ghost instances?

I’m not really familiar with Github Actions, but I’m guessing it would be possible to change the GA file to add multiple instances and/or deployments?

Any idea would help, thanks!

```auto
name: Deploy Theme
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master
      - main
jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-18.04
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Deploy Ghost Theme
        uses: TryGhost/action-deploy-theme@v1.4.0
        with:
          api-url: ${{ secrets.GHOST_ADMIN_API_URL }}
          api-key: ${{ secrets.GHOST_ADMIN_API_KEY }}

```

Hey @simardcasanova! 👋 Sure - you could do the following:

```auto
name: Deploy Theme
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master
      - main
jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-18.04
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Deploy to site X
        uses: TryGhost/action-deploy-theme@v1.4.1
        with:
          api-url: ${{ secrets.SITE_X_ADMIN_API_URL }}
          api-key: ${{ secrets.SITE_X_ADMIN_API_KEY }}
      - name: Deploy to site Y
        uses: TryGhost/action-deploy-theme@v1.4.1
        with:
          api-url: ${{ secrets.SITE_Y_ADMIN_API_URL }}
          api-key: ${{ secrets.SITE_Y_ADMIN_API_KEY }}

```

and be sure to add your secrets in GitHub 🙂

Exactly, you simply re-use the same action over and over :-p

Hi, could this be configured to deploy different branches to different locations?

I want to be able to push changes to my “dev” branch and have it goto my dev server. And pushes to main/master goto production.

Not quite sure how to make that change?

@tedserbinski For sure - try this (untested though):

```auto
name: Deploy Theme
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - dev
      - main
jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-18.04
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Deploy to production site
        if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
        uses: TryGhost/action-deploy-theme@v1.4.1
        with:
          api-url: ${{ secrets.SITE_X_ADMIN_API_URL }}
          api-key: ${{ secrets.SITE_X_ADMIN_API_KEY }}

      - name: Deploy to staging site
        if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/dev'
        uses: TryGhost/action-deploy-theme@v1.4.1
        with:
          api-url: ${{ secrets.SITE_Y_ADMIN_API_URL }}
          api-key: ${{ secrets.SITE_Y_ADMIN_API_KEY }}

```
