title: "GitHub Actions"
description: "You can easily deploy your tasks with GitHub actions."
---
This simple GitHub action file will deploy your Trigger.dev tasks when new code is pushed to the `main` branch and the `trigger` directory has changes in it.
<Warning>
The deploy step will fail if any version mismatches are detected. Please see the [version
pinning](/github-actions#version-pinning) section for more details.
</Warning>

```yaml .github/workflows/release-trigger-prod.yml
name: Deploy to Trigger.dev (prod)

push:
branches:
- main
paths:
- "trigger/**"

deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2

If you already have a GitHub action file, you can just add the final step "🚀 Deploy Trigger.dev" to your existing file.
### Creating a Personal Access Token
<Steps>
<Step title="Create a new access token">Go to your profile page and click on the ["Personal Access Tokens"](https://cloud.trigger.dev/account/tokens) tab.</Step>
<Step title="Go to your repository on GitHub.">Click on 'Settings' -> 'Secrets and variables' -> 'Actions' -> 'New repository secret'</Step>
<Step title="Add the TRIGGER_ACCESS_TOKEN">Add the name `TRIGGER_ACCESS_TOKEN` and the value of your access token. ![Add TRIGGER_ACCESS_TOKEN in GitHub](/images/github-access-token.png)</Step>
</Steps>
## Version pinning
The CLI and `@trigger.dev/*` package versions need to be in sync, otherwise there will be errors and unpredictable behavior. Hence, the `deploy` command will automatically fail during CI on any version mismatches.
Tip: add the deploy command to your `package.json` file to keep versions managed in the same place. For example:
```json
{
"scripts": {
"deploy:trigger-prod": "npx trigger.dev@3.0.0-beta.34 deploy",
"deploy:trigger": "npx trigger.dev@3.0.0-beta.34 deploy --env staging"
}
}
```
Your workflow file will follow the version specified in the `package.json` script, like so:
```yaml .github/workflows/release-trigger.yml
- name: 🚀 Deploy Trigger.dev
env:
TRIGGER_ACCESS_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.TRIGGER_ACCESS_TOKEN }}
run: |
npm run deploy:trigger
```
You should use the version you run locally during dev and manual deploy. The current version is displayed in the banner, but you can also check it by appending `--version` to any command.
