GitHub Action for seamless deployment to EvenNode platforms.

• Secure SSH key handling
• Automatic .env file configuration
• Custom pre-commit and pre-push commands
• Flexible branch targeting
• Fresh git history initialization to prevent shadow push errors

Why use secrets for credentials?

• Allows different team members to use their own credentials
• Enables easy rotation of credentials without code changes

The pre_commit_command input allows you to execute custom commands before the deployment commit is created. This is particularly useful for:

1. Building your application and including the build artifacts in the commit
2. Running tests or validations before deployment
3. Preparing any necessary files or directories

A example use case is building an application and including the dist/ folder in the commit to avoid recompilation on the EvenNode host. Here's an example from a real implementation:

pre_commit_command: |
  npm install
  npm run build
  git add dist -f

You can see a example with Next.js in action on this workflow.

This approach significantly reduces deployment time as the host doesn't need to rebuild the application. The built files are included directly in the deployment.
