here is my problem.

I have a github repository and I want to copy it into a aws EC2 instance automatically with a github-actions.yml file.

In github secrets, I added the following secrets:

• AWS_HOST
• AWS_ROOT_DIR_PATH
• AWS_USER
• SSH_PRIVATE_KEY

here is the github-actions.yml:

name: Deploy to EC2 (AWS)

on:
push:
branches:
master

jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest

steps:
name: Checkout repository
uses: actions/checkout@v2

name: Install SSH key
uses: shimataro/ssh-key-action@v2
with:
key: ${{ secrets.SSH_PRIVATE_KEY }}
known_hosts: ‘just-a-placeholder-so-we-dont-get-errors’

name: Adding Known Hosts
run: ssh-keyscan -H ${{ secrets.AWS_HOST }} >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts

name: Deploy with rsync
run: rsync -anvz ./* ${{ secrets.AWS_USER }}@${{ secrets.AWS_HOST }}:${{ secrets.AWS_ROOT_DIR_PATH }}

When I check into section “Actions” in github, deploiement is succeeded but no files have been copied into the folder “AWS_ROOT_DIR_PATH” in my aws EC2.

Maybe you can help me to solve this issue.

I tried to run github-actions.yml and I should have a folder at the location “AWS_ROOT_DIR_PATH” where all the content of my github repository would have been copied
