Setup

Create secrets

You need to create three secrets in the repo. All three come from your Tina project.

• TINA_PUBLIC_CLIENT_ID : Your Tina Client ID. Fuond under "Overview" in the sidebar.
• TINA_TOKEN : Your Tina "Content (Readonly)" token. Found under "Tokens" in the sidebar
• TINA_SEARCH_TOKEN : Your Tina "Search" token. Found under "Tokens" in the sidebar

tina/config.ts

Make sure to update build.basepath in tina/config.ts! You can leave this blank if you're building from the root of your domain.

You may want to update media too, if you plan on changing where uploads are stored. (If you do this, make sure to update _config.yml, so picture.source and picture.output match your updated location.

GitHub Pages

Under "Settings", select "Pages". Under "Build and deployment", set "Source" to "GitHub Actions".

You should see: "Your site was last deployed to the github-pages environment by the Deploy Jekyll site to Pages workflow."
