Creating your first workflow

• From your repository on GitHub, create a new file in the .github/workflows directory named ovhcloud-deploy.yml

• Copy and paste the following snippet into your ovhcloud-deploy.yml file :

    name: Deploy to OVHcloud Power
    on:
      push:
        branches: [ master ]
      workflow_dispatch:
    jobs:
      deploy:    
        runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
        steps:
          - name: Install prerequisites
            run: |
              sudo apt-get update
              sudo apt-get install -y curl jq sshpass openssh-client
  
          - name: WakeUp website
            env:
                OVH_WEBSITE_URL: ${{ secrets.OVH_WEBSITE_URL }}
            run: curl --silent --insecure --location --write-out "%{http_code}" -o /dev/null ${OVH_WEBSITE_URL}
  
          - name: Clone over SSH

          - name: WakeUp website
            env:
                OVH_WEBSITE_URL: ${{ secrets.OVH_WEBSITE_URL }}
