With the Azure App Service Actions for GitHub, you can automate your workflow to deploy Azure Web Apps using GitHub Actions.

This repository contains the GitHub Action for building Azure Web Apps on Linux using the Oryx build system. Currently, the following platforms can be built using this GitHub Action:

• Node
• Python

Note: Currently you can only use platform versions which are supported by Azure Web Apps.

If you are looking for a GitHub Action to deploy your Azure Web App, consider using azure/webapps-deploy.

The definition of this GitHub Action is in action.yml.

Now we have a beta version v2 released. It's using a new image specifically for GitHub Actions to significantly reduce the time for building your app.

End-to-End Sample Workflows

Dependencies on other GitHub Actions

• actions/checkout
  • Checkout your Git repository content into the GitHub Actions agent

Other GitHub Actions

• azure/webapps-deploy
  • Deploy a web app to Azure

Sample workflow to build a web app

The following is a sample of a workflow that builds a web app in a repository whenever a commit is pushed:

on: push

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Cloning repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v1

      - name: Building web app
        uses: azure/appservice-build@v1

Sample workflow to build and deploy an Azure Web App

The following is a sample workflow that builds a web app in a repository and then deploys it to Azure whenever a commit is pushed:

on: push

jobs:
  build-and-deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Cloning repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v1

      - name: Building web app
        uses: azure/appservice-build@v1

      - name: Deploying web app to Azure
        uses: azure/webapps-deploy@v1
        with:
          app-name: <WEB_APP_NAME>
          publish-profile: ${{ secrets.AZURE_WEB_APP_PUBLISH_PROFILE }}

The following variable should be replaced in your workflow:

• <WEB_APP_NAME>
  • Name of the web app that's being deployed

The following variable should be set in the GitHub repository's secrets store:

• AZURE_WEB_APP_PUBLISH_PROFILE
  • The contents of the publish profile file (.publishsettings) used to deploy the web app; for more information on setting this secret, please see the azure/webapps-deploy action
