Example Gatsby Incremental Builds + GitHub Actions Project

Gatsby Incremental Builds + GitHub Actions

Example repository showing how Gatsby Incremental Builds can be accomplished using GitHub Actions deploys.

As a proof of concept, an example deployment using Cloudflare Workers is included in this repo. When new commits are made, the workflow will run, caching any existing content (using the .cache and public directories) and not requiring content that hasn't changed to be built again.

Note that this repo is pretty WIP from a documentation perspective, but I do want to shout out @raulfdm who beat me to implementing this with a significantly easier implementation than what I was trying to pull off. Some of the workflow code in this project is based on his work.

Limitations

• GitHub Actions' caching feature is currently only supported on push and pull_request event types - this means that any repositories using schedules or repository_dispatch (custom webhook events) will be unable to use incremental builds with GitHub Actions at this time. This issue in the actions/cache repo tracks that problem: actions/cache#63.
