Laravel Deploy Action

This GitHub Action deploys a Laravel project to a server via FTP, with customizable PHP versions and extensions.

Inputs

• branch: The branch to deploy. This input determines which branch (production or development) will be deployed.
• php-version: PHP version to use (default: 8.1). You can specify any PHP version supported by the shivammathur/setup-php action.
• php-extensions: Comma-separated list of PHP extensions to install (default: "mbstring,xml,intl,curl,gd"). Modify this list according to your project's requirements.
• ftp-username-main: FTP username for the main branch. This should be the username used for production deployments.
• ftp-username-dev: FTP username for the development branch. This should be the username used for development deployments.
• ftp-server: FTP server address. This is the FTP server where your Laravel project will be deployed.
• ftp-password: FTP password. This is the password used for FTP deployment.
• use-env-files: Whether to use .env.prod and .env.dev files (default: true). If set to true, the action will copy .env.prod for production and .env.dev for development. If false, the action will use .env.example.

Acknowledgments

This GitHub Action leverages several other amazing GitHub Actions:

• actions/checkout: Used to check out the repository code.
• shivammathur/setup-php: Used to set up the desired PHP version and extensions.
• SamKirkland/FTP-Deploy-Action: Used to sync files via FTP to the server.

These tools make it easy to build and deploy your Laravel applications to FTP servers in a continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline.
