This simple GitHub action file will deploy you Trigger.dev tasks when new code is pushed to the main branch and the trigger directory has changes in it.

.github/workflows/release-trigger.yml
name: Deploy to Trigger.dev

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
    paths:
      - "trigger/**"

jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Use Node.js 20.x
        uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: "20.x"
      
      - name: Install dependencies
        run: npm install

      - name: 🚀 Deploy Trigger.dev
        env:
          TRIGGER_ACCESS_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.TRIGGER_ACCESS_TOKEN }}
        run: |
          npx trigger.dev@beta deploy

If you already have a GitHub action file, you can just add the final step ”🚀 Deploy Trigger.dev” to your existing file.

You need to add the TRIGGER_ACCESS_TOKEN secret to your repository. You can create a new access token by going to your profile page and then clicking on the “Personal Access Tokens” tab.

To set it in GitHub go to your repository, click on “Settings”, “Secrets and variables” and then “Actions”. Add a new secret with the name TRIGGER_ACCESS_TOKEN and use the value of your access token.
