Publish React app to Github Pages using github Actions

I made a simple Reactjs app and now I want to publish it on gh-pages. I followed this Facebook tutorial for deploying it and it is also getting deployed from my PC. But now instead of every time manually deploying it, I thought of using Github Actions to deploy on every push to the master branch. so I wrote the below Action.

name: gh pages publish

on:
  push:
    branches: master

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v2
  - uses: actions/setup-node@v1
    with:
      node-version: 12
      registry-url: https://registry.npmjs.org/
  - name: publish package
    run: |
      yarn
      npm run deploy

But this action fails because it requires the user to input the username and password.

> gh-pages -d build
fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': No such device or address

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! [email protected] deploy: `gh-pages -d build`
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR!

npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

npm ERR!     /home/runner/.npm/_logs/2020-06-21T07_07_19_700Z-debug.log
##[error]Process completed with exit code 1.

How can I fix this?

Edit: Here is the package.json file

  }
}

Solution

According to the create react app github pages troubleshoot here, you need to do the following.

Create a new Personal Access Token
git remote set-url origin https://<user>:<token>@github.com/<user>/<repo>.
Try npm run deploy again

Also make sure everything in your package.json is correct, but this definitely looks like an authentication issue.
