name: learn-github-actions
run-name: ${{ github.actor }} is learning GitHub Actions
on: [push]
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    strategy:
      matrix: 
        node-version: [ 16.x ]

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }}
        uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}
      - name: install modules
        run: npm install
      - name: build project 
        run: npm run build  

3. Setup ssh keys

ssh-keygen -m PEM -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your-name-github-secret"

4. Copy private key in Github repository secrets variables with YOUR_NAME_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY

5. Copy public key in .ssh/authorized_keys in your remote ssh server

  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: executing remote ssh server 
        uses: appleboy/ssh-action@master 
        with:
          host: ${{ secrets.HOST_NAME }}
          username: ${{ secrets.USER_NAME }}
          key: ${{ secrets.YOUR_NAME_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY }}
          port: ${{ secrets.PORT }}
          script: | 
            cd /path/to/your/app
            git pull origin main 
            git status
