WordPress.org Plugin Deploy

This Action commits the contents of your Git tag to the WordPress.org plugin repository using the same tag name. It can exclude files as defined in either .distignore or .gitattributes, and moves anything from a .wordpress-org subdirectory to the top-level assets directory in Subversion (plugin banners, icons, and screenshots).

Configuration

Required secrets

• SVN_USERNAME
• SVN_PASSWORD

Secrets are set in your repository settings. They cannot be viewed once stored.

Optional environment variables

• SLUG - defaults to the repository name, customizable in case your WordPress repository has a different slug or is capitalized differently.
• VERSION - defaults to the tag name; do not recommend setting this except for testing purposes.
• ASSETS_DIR - defaults to .wordpress-org, customizable for other locations of WordPress.org plugin repository-specific assets that belong in the top-level assets directory (the one on the same level as trunk).
• PLUGIN_DIR - defaults to the root folder of the GitHub repository.

Excluding files from deployment

If there are files or directories to be excluded from deployment, such as tests or editor config files, they can be specified in a .distignore file.

Sample baseline files

.distignore

Notes: .distignore is for files to be ignored only; it does not currently allow negation like .gitignore. This comes from its current expected syntax in WP-CLI's wp dist-archive command. It is possible that this Action will allow for includes via something like a .distinclude file in the future, or that WP-CLI itself makes a change that this Action will reflect for consistency. It also will need to contain more than .gitattributes because that method also respects .gitignore.

/.wordpress-org
/.git
/.github
/node_modules

.distignore
.gitignore

Example Workflow Files

To get started, you will want to copy the contents of one of these examples into .github/workflows/deploy.yml and push that to your repository. You are welcome to name the file something else.
