How to deploy the pages to another remote?

[taicaile]

Hello,

Is there a way to add remote configuration for mkdocs gh-deploy command in Github Action environment?

I am holding the docs in a private repo, and I want the docs to be pushed to another remote repo that is publicly available.

The command mkdocs gh-deploy can specify the remote by --remote option, I don't know how to use it in a Github Action environment.

Any suggestions? I have tried to add remote as the following URL:

https://$USER_NAME:[email protected]/$DESTINATION_REPOSITORY_USERNAME/$DESTINATION_REPOSITORY_NAME.git

But this gives the following error

remote: Permission to xxx/blog.git denied to github-actions[bot].

Don't suppose you ever figured this out, did you? I'm getting a similar issue, but I'm just trying to make it deploy when I commit anything at all to the markdown...
