.

push:
branches:
- main
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:

uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Push to Destination Repository

with:
destination-username: "destination-user"
destination-access-token: ${{ secrets.DESTINATION_ACCESS_TOKEN }}
destination-repository: "destination-user/destination-repo"
This example demonstrates an advanced usage scenario where you want to push a specific branch (release-candidate
) from your source repository to a different branch (staging
) in the destination release repository hosted on gitlab.com
.
