Ghost Github Deploy Action - Does it build/compile and zip?

[Dx2]

Hi. I read this line from the Deploy Ghost Theme Action page on Github - " This [GitHub action] allows you to automatically build and deploy your [Ghost Theme]
from GitHub to any install, via the Ghost Admin API!"

I’m not sure I understand. If I make a change to a .css or .js file, will this Action automatically compile and create a zip file of the theme, and then deploy it to my GhostPro site? Or do I need to run Gulp and zip the files myself before using this Action?

Thank you.

You’ll need to run Gulp and zip the files beforehand. However, this can be done in GitHub Actions - here’s a similar thread:

Deploy Ghost GitHub Action

For anyone that’s been following along, there’s an example here that shows how you can expand your theme’s Github workflow to include building your assets before running the theme deployment action.

Thank you, Vikas. I appreciate your reply.
I’m anxiously trying not to mess up our site with my edits.
