    steps:
    - name: checkout

      with:
        ref: master
    - name: build
      uses: github-actions-x/hugo@master

      with:
        github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        push-branch: 'master'
        push-remote: https://github.com/some-org/some-repo.git
        commit-message: 'publish'
