WordPress Plugin SVN Deploy

This Action commits the contents of your Git tag to the WordPress.org plugin repository using the same tag name. It can exclude files as defined in .distignore, and moves anything from a .wordpress-org subdirectory to the top-level assets directory in Subversion (plugin banners, icons, and screenshots).

The code forked from https://github.com/10up/action-wordpress-plugin-deploy/ and slightly simplified for our own needs. Also added SOURCE_DIR variable support.

Configuration

Required secrets

• SVN_USERNAME
• SVN_PASSWORD

Secrets are set in your repository settings. They cannot be viewed once stored.

Optional environment variables

• SLUG - defaults to the repository name, customizable in case your WordPress repository has a different slug or is capitalized differently.
• VERSION - defaults to the tag name; do not recommend setting this except for testing purposes.
• SOURCE_DIR - defaults to / root directory of your repository. If you use custom build directory, it will be useful to customize to something like this build/.
• ASSETS_DIR - defaults to .wordpress-org, customizable for other locations of WordPress.org plugin repository-specific assets that belong in the top-level assets directory (the one on the same level as trunk).

Excluding files from deployment

If there are files or directories to be excluded from deployment, such as tests or editor config files, they can be specified in either a .distignore file using the export-ignore directive. If a .distignore file is present, it will be used.

.distignore is useful particularly when there are built files that are in .gitignore, and is a file that is used in WP-CLI. For modern plugin setups with a build step and no built files committed to the repository, this is the way forward.

Sample baseline files

.distignore

Notes: .distignore is for files to be ignored only. This comes from its current expected syntax in WP-CLI's wp dist-archive command.

/.wordpress-org
/.git
/.github
/node_modules
.distignore
.gitignore
