Example usage

# File: .github/workflows/workflow.yml
on: [push]

name: example

jobs:

  devflow:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    
    - uses: okteto/context@latest
      with:
        url: https://okteto.example.com
        token: ${{ secrets.OKTETO_TOKEN }}
    
    - name: "Delete the previews preview environment"
      uses: okteto/destroy-preview@latest

        timeout: 10m

Advanced usage

Custom Certification Authorities or Self-signed certificates

You can specify a custom certificate authority or a self-signed certificate by setting the OKTETO_CA_CERT environment variable. When this variable is set, the action will install the certificate in the container, and then execute the action.

Use this option if you're using a private Certificate Authority or a self-signed certificate in your Okteto SH instance. We recommend that you store the certificate as an encrypted secret, and that you define the environment variable for the entire job, instead of doing it on every step.

# File: .github/workflows/workflow.yml

  devflow:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    env:
      OKTETO_CA_CERT: ${{ secrets.OKTETO_CA_CERT }}
