# PyPI publish GitHub Action
This action allows you to upload your [Python distribution package](
https://packaging.python.org/glossary/#term-distribution-package) to
PyPI.
## Usage
To use the action add the following step to your workflow file (e.g.:
`.github/workflows/main.yml`)
```yml
- name: Publish a Python distribution to PyPI
uses: pypi/gh-action-pypi-publish@master
with:
user: __token__
password: ${{ secrets.pypi_password }}
```
A common use case is to upload packages only on a tagged commit, to do so add a
filter to the step:
```yml
if: github.event_name == 'push' && startsWith(github.event.ref, 'refs/tags')
```
So the full step would look like:
```yml
- name: Publish package
if: github.event_name == 'push' && startsWith(github.event.ref, 'refs/tags')
uses: pypi/gh-action-pypi-publish@master
with:
user: __token__
password: ${{ secrets.pypi_password }}
```
The example above uses the new [API token](https://pypi.org/help/#apitoken)
feature of PyPI, which is recommended to restrict the access the action has.
The secret used in `${{ secrets.pypi_password }}` needs to be created on the settings
page of your project on GitHub. See [Creating & using secrets].
