Thanks for this, works great!
The only thing I had to adjust was to move npm install before authenticating serverless with AWS. This is due to me using several serverless plugins and it didn't like me not having them installed.

Concur with above. Had same issue and resolved it by moving npm i up the chain to just before aws auth.

solid solution. thanks

I'm having some trouble, Github is just sitting there not doing anything on sls deploy. Anyone experiencing this?

(I cancelled it after waiting 15 min)

Try the full flag name --stage instead of -s. I was having trouble getting different stages to build properly with the short version.

exactly the thing i was looking for. thanks.

Need update the node version,

Made some small tweaks to get it to work for me. Notably, using pnpm in a monorepo-style system. This workaround is necessary because the Serverless team's official repo (https://github.com/serverless/github-action) doesn't seem very well maintained, and it's not a very complex operation anyway.
