Summary

  • Replace peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v4 with the official actions/deploy-pages@v5 and actions/upload-pages-artifact@v5 pair.
  • Split the workflow into separate build and deploy jobs.
  • Grant pages: write and id-token: write permissions and target the github-pages environment as recommended by the action docs.

Notes

The repository Pages source must be set to GitHub Actions in Settings → Pages for the new deployment flow to work.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Updated the site publishing workflow to build the site and deploy it through GitHub Pages.
    • Manual deployments no longer require an environment selection.
    • The deployment environment now provides the published site’s URL.

Replace peaceiris/actions-gh-pages with the official
actions/deploy-pages@v5 and actions/upload-pages-artifact@v5
pair. Split the workflow into separate build and deploy jobs,
grant pages and id-token permissions, and target the
github-pages environment as recommended by the action docs.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The workflow replaces its single deployment job with separate build and deploy jobs. It uploads ./dist as a Pages artifact and deploys it with GitHub Pages actions.

Changes

GitHub Pages deployment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Build and deploy the Pages artifact
.github/workflows/deploy.yml
The workflow removes the manual-dispatch environment input and updates permissions. The build job uploads ./dist as a Pages artifact. A separate deploy job uses the github-pages environment and actions/deploy-pages@v5.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Refactor

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0772c

The deployment migration looks functionally sound, but the build job gets Pages write and OIDC permissions it does not need. Moving those grants to the deploy job is a small change that should be made before or soon after merge.

Restrict deployment permissions to the deploy job.

These workflow-level grants also give the build job deployment permissions and OIDC token access. That job runs dependency installation and build scripts, which do not need these grants. Move both scopes to jobs.deploy.permissions and retain only contents: read at workflow scope. The action documentation places these grants on the dedicated deploy job. (github.com)

Based on learnings, grant write permissions only to jobs that need them. The static-analysis hints identify the same excessive scope.
