Cloudflare Pages deploy into subdirectories

This Github Actions workflow file lets you deploy multiple websites to Cloudflare Pages in subfolders instead of subdomains by using an intermediate repository to hold the built files.

  • Create a new repository where the files will get deployed to. That is your build repo, and you should set up your Pages from that repo.
  • Create a secret in your repo or organization called DEPLOY_PAT with the value of a GitHub personal access token of an account that has access to push to your build repo
  • Edit the values under env:
    • replace AuthorNameGoesHere with the author of the build repo
    • replace BuildRepoNameGoesHere with the name of the build repo
    • replace UsernameOfPATGoesHere with the username of the account you created the personal access token for
