Discussion Details

Hello GitHub Community,

I am experiencing repeated GitHub Pages deployment failures.

Repository: https://github.com/TRTR2131/drceyhunnuri

Issue:

• The build completes successfully.
• The deployment gets stuck at Current status: syncing_files.
• After approximately 10 minutes, it fails with Error: Timeout reached, aborting!.
• One previous deployment succeeded in 26 seconds, but subsequent deployments have failed again.
• I removed several unused large video files to reduce the repository size, but the deployment still times out.

What I need help with:

Could this be a GitHub Pages synchronization issue? Is there a way to resolve a deployment that repeatedly gets stuck at syncing_files?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Few things to notice ,

1. there is 580mb of artifacts including image and videoes.(reduce that if possible)
2. try re-running the workflow ,but i think the main issue the file size.

if didn't work try , with a custom workflow it will work.

- uses: actions/deploy-pages@v5
  with:
    timeout: 1200000 # 20 minutes

by reducing i mean, u can use webp also i saw a lot of files are just in the root try to arrange them into folder and compress and convert file to webp using online tools.

I had the same problem yesterday, seems to be solved.
My workflow usually ends in ~1 minute, but with was getting time out after 10 minutes running, but I haven't saw exactly where it was stucked.
