<p>First, thanks for the service, it works great !</p>
<p>Though I think there is an issue for deploying on Github.com:</p>
<p>First, the documentation is not updated:<br>
<a href="https://www.appveyor.com/docs/deployment/github/#release-every-tag-build">https://www.appveyor.com/docs/deployment/github/#release-every-tag-...</a><br>
It reads: " Be sure to encrypt your token using “Encrypt configuration data” page in AppVeyor (Settings → Encrypt YAML)." But I can't find the menu mentioned.</p>
<p>Also, in order to write down the "deploy: auth_token: secure: " token in the yaml file, the only way I've found was to create a token on GitHub.com; write it down in the project's Deployment Menu under a new GitHub provider (it is far from clear of what happens to these options since they appear in the yaml file too); and finally recover the encrypted token in the exported yaml file from the "Export YAML" menu.</p>
<p>To make a long story short: this is very complicated and brain washing.</p>
<p>Please, either make it clear from the specific documentation. Though even better: simplify this non-intuitive/multi-menu/complicated process.</p>
<p>Cheers,<br>
And thanks again for your good work!</p></div>gilles.degottextag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/476094412019-09-11T08:01:17Z2019-09-11T08:01:17ZDeploy on GitHub.com<div><p>Look for the "Encrypt Yaml" page under the profile settings menu, not the project settings menu.</p></div>XLTechietag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/476094412019-09-11T16:27:30Z2019-09-11T16:27:30ZDeploy on GitHub.com<div><p>We generally agree that documentation could always be improved, and to that end you can make <a href="https://github.com/appveyor/website">pull requests</a> to it.</p>
<p>The <code>Encrypt YAML</code> page is actually under account settings. Using this, you'll avoid the whole <code>Export YAML</code> process, which I would agree is an overly complicated approach.</p></div>Owen McDonnell
