To setup CI/CD in your project follow these steps:

  1. If you're creating a site through EasyEngine v4, add flag --public-dir=current in creation for proper configuration and then delete the current folder (rm -r /opt/easyengine/sites/example.com/app/htdocs/current), it will get created by deployer in CI/CD.

  2. Setup your repo according to the skeleton strucutre of this repo. In case of fresh projects, you can start with a direct clone of this repo. For existing projects you can take the .github folder.

git clone --depth=1 [email protected]:rtCamp/github-actions-wordpress-skeleton.git

    1. Update branch blocks with required branches and corresponding server details.
    2. Update ci_script_options as per project needs.
      1. Setting vip: true will enable cloning of mu-plugins.
      2. wp-version can be set to latest for latest released version. Or it can be pinned to a specified by setting a value like: 5.0.3.

Customize the actions

GitHub actions library has the flexibility of customization to accomodate various scenarios.

To customize any particular file in the action, follow the folder structure of the library inside .github folder. File inside .github folder will override the default file in the action.

Example: If deploy.php needs to be customised, then in the library the file is present in deploy folder. So, placing it in location .github/deploy/deploy.php will override the one in action.
