PyPI publish GitHub Action

This action allows you to upload your Python distribution package to PyPI.

Usage

To use the action add the following step to your workflow file (e.g.: .github/workflows/main.yml)

- name: Publish a Python distribution to PyPI
  uses: pypi/gh-action-pypi-publish@master
  with:
    user: __token__
    password: ${{ secrets.pypi_password }}

A common use case is to upload packages only on a tagged commit, to do so add a filter to the step:

  if: github.event_name == 'push' && startsWith(github.event.ref, 'refs/tags')

So the full step would look like:

- name: Publish package
  if: github.event_name == 'push' && startsWith(github.event.ref, 'refs/tags')
  uses: pypi/gh-action-pypi-publish@master
  with:
    user: __token__
    password: ${{ secrets.pypi }}

The example above uses the new API token feature of PyPI, which is recommended to restrict the access the action has.

The secret used in ${{ secrets.pypi_password }} needs to be created on the settings page of your project on GitHub. See Creating & using secrets.
