GitHub Action to Deploy Laravel Vapor Apps

Here's a quick GitHub Actions file you can use to deploy Laravel Vapor applications.

• Uses MySQL 8.0
• Uses PHP 7.4
• Runs phpcs and phpunit
• Deploys staging branch to the staging Vapor environment
• Deploys master branch to the production Vapor environment

Feel free to change any details to suite your application.

The only requirement is you will need to define a VAPOR_API_TOKEN secret.
