# GitHub Action for Git Push

The GitHub Actions for pushing to Git repository local changes authorizing using GitHub token.


## Usage

### Example Workflow file

An example workflow to authenticate with Google Cloud Platform:

```yaml
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@master
...
    - run: |
        ...
    - uses: ad-m/git-push-action@master
      with:
        repo-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
```

Subsequent actions in the workflow will then be able to use `gcloud` as that user ([see `cli` for examples](/cli)).
