Deploy Hugo from Gitlab CI to Github Pages

I have Hugo blog, hosted on Github Pages and using Travis CI to deploy it.
But at new year, Travis CI take long time to queue my build.

Travis CI Status: Container-based Linux over capacity

As alternatif, I use Gitlab CI and mirroring my blog repository from Github to Gitlab.

Here my .gitlab-ci.yml script:

image: andthensome/alpine-hugo-git-bash:0.31.2

before_script:
  - hugo version

github_pages:
  script:
  - rm -rf public
  - git clone --depth 1 https://<username>:$GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN@github.com/<username>/<username>.github.io.git public
  - hugo --config config.production.toml
  - cd public
  - git config user.email "<your git email>"
  - git config --global user.name "<your git name>"
  - git add -A
  - git commit -m "Build from $CI_SERVER_NAME $CI_PIPELINE_ID"
  - git push
  artifacts:
    paths:
    - public
  only:
  - master

We need to create environment variable GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN at Gitlab. Just go to Settings->CI/DI->Secret Variables.

You can get your Github Personal Token at https://github.com/settings/tokens.

And then...

Lets try to build it by commiting some changes to master branch on Gitlab.

Awesome!

Now my blog is deployed from Gitlab CI to Github Pages, hare what look like on Github Pages repository.

(you also can read Indonesian version on my blog)
