GCS Bucket Sync Action

This action helps by easily syncing a Github repository with a Google Cloud Storage bucket. It is very generic and can be used for different purposes. I used it for uploading my static website.

Features

• Sync files/directories from your repository to your bucket
• Delete files/directories from your bucket which where removed in your repository
• Exclude certain files from being synced with the bucket

Requirements

• An existing empty* bucket
• A service account with access to the bucket
• The service account key (json format)

*If you want to sync to an existing bucket, make sure that your repository includes the whole content of it, otherwise you will lose data!

Inputs

• secrets Your Google service account credentials as json. (Required)
• bucket Name of the target bucket. (Required)
• sync_dir Directory path to sync, relative to bucket, for example, my_folder/to_sync. It is empty by default.
• exclude Regex for excluding files/dirs. (gsutil rsync doc)

Example

name: Deploy

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  deploy:
    name: Deploy
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Sync
        uses: patrickwyler/gcs-bucket-sync-action@1.3
        with:
          secrets: ${{ secrets.google_service_account_credentials }}
          bucket: 'patrickwyler.com'
          exclude: '.*\.md$|\.gitignore$|\.git/.*$|\.github/.*$'
