Using Through github/ftp auto upload private repositoy to cpanel

GIthub Private repository with Cpanel Uploading step with one commit command from local pc repository to github and cpanel both

1. create git repository in github (https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/create-a-repo)

2. after create an directory in local with github setup as following command

   git init
   git add .
   git commit -m "commit"
   git remote add origin
   git push
   

step 1. create FTP account into cpanel

step 2. in Github Go to your private repository on GitHub, click on SETTINGS, then click on SECRETS to add your FTP account username, password and server IP

step 3. On the SECRETS tab, click the NEW REPOSITORY SECRET BUTTON on the right hand side, to add a new secret

step 4. Add the details as follows (Using your own details)

The names should be FTP_SERVER, FTP_USERNAME,FTP_PASSWORD

and the values should be your own secret details respectively and click the ADD SECRET BUTTON

The next step is to create a GitHub action workflow; The GitHub actions take place on the GitHub server.

In your GitHub repo, click on ACTIONS

Step 5. Click NEW WORKFLOW, You can choose a workflow template but for the sake of this tutorial, we will be creating our own workflow.

Click on any template (I selected the first template), then edit the configuration (“yaml” configuration file)

Step 6. Change the file name to your own choice. (I changed mine to deployCpanel.yml), make sure it has the .yml file extension

step 7. Place the below configuration code in the file

   name: Publish Website to CPanel
   on:
     push:
        branches:
           - master
        jobs:
            FTP-Deploy-Action:
            name: FTP-Deploy-Action
            runs-on: ubuntu-latest
            steps:
                - uses: actions/[email protected]
                 with:
                 fetch-depth: 2
                   - name: FTP-Deploy-Action
                 uses: SamKirkland/[email protected]
                 with:
                    ftp-server: ${{ secrets.FTP_SERVER }}
                    ftp-username: ${{ secrets.FTP_USERNAME }}
                    ftp-password: ${{ secrets.FTP_PASSWORD }}

Make sure you change the branch where you want your codes to be deployed from, in my case I am deploying from master branch

Step 8 . Once you are done, click on START COMMIT button on the right hand side

This will automatically create a /.github/workflows/directory and places the configuration file in it.

Anytime you push your codes to the master branch, it automatically deploys to cPanel via your FTP account.
