CI/CD

ShipNode generates a ready-to-use GitHub Actions workflow.

npx shipnode ci github

This writes .github/workflows/deploy.yml that:

1. Checks out the repo
2. Installs deps with your package manager
3. Sets up SSH using a secret deploy key
4. Runs npx shipnode deploy

Required secrets

The workflow expects the following GitHub repository secrets:

Secret	Purpose
SHIPNODE_SSH_KEY	Private key for the deploy user.
SHIPNODE_SSH_HOST	Server hostname (matches shipnode.config.ts).
SHIPNODE_ENV	The full .env contents to materialize on the runner.

Sync the env automatically:

npx shipnode ci env-sync --all

Multiple environments

Duplicate the workflow file (e.g. deploy-staging.yml) and pass --config shipnode.staging.config.ts to the deploy step.
