Deploy using GitHub Actions
Run our build script from github action such as code release
Setup a Github action that runs when we release code and uses the build script we created above to deploy to the shared hosting account
In order to authorise GitHub to access your server we need to create an SSH key at SiteGround and then store this in GitHub. Secrets like this are stored within the repository settings.
Create a new SSH key in SiteGround and make a note of the password that was generated.
Under GitHub Settings > Secrets > Actions add a new secret with the name of
DEPLOY_RSA_PRIVATECopy the private key from the SiteGround key just generated
Under GitHub Settings > Secrets > Actions add a new secret with the name of
DEPLOY_RSA_PASSWORD`Paste in the password noted earlier.
The details for a GitHub action are stored in a
.yaml file and will be stored in your code repository under the .github/workflows folder.deploy.yaml

This action spins up an instance of ubuntu server, then connects to your SiteGround website and runs the same commands as are performed if you were to deploy manually.
On line 22, change this to reflect the path to your website.
The above deploy action will be performed automatically when a new code release is created, or you can instigate it manually using the Run Workflow button from the Actions page in GitHub.
