Github Enterprise Compatibility

I can not find an option (a clean one) that allows to set the Server URL or Api Url and they seem to be hardcoded to github.com.

This fails because our repo is at https://github.tools.sap/coresystemsFSM/blog

As we want to use your action with GitHub Enterprise we would need to be able to customise those.

Link to your contents

I see one entry here but I think its unused during a workflow.

actions-gh-pages/Dockerfile

Line 36 in c1c219f

ENV GITHUB_SERVER_URL="https://github.com"

Additional context

I would contribute a PR if you give me 1-2 pointers where I'd need to add things in your structure.

Since I have no environment of GitHub Enterprise Server, I was looking forward to this issue, thanks!

actions-gh-pages/src/set-tokens.ts

Line 66 in a0db9b6

export function setGithubToken(

We can modify the function setGithubToken to get a server domain from process.env['GITHUB_SERVER_URL'].

Those are also helpful for us.

export function getServerUrl(): URL {
  // todo: remove GITHUB_URL after support for GHES Alpha is no longer needed
  return new URL(
    process.env['GITHUB_SERVER_URL'] ||
      process.env['GITHUB_URL'] ||
      'https://github.com'
  )
}

const serverUrl = getServerUrl()

return `https://x-access-token:${githubToken}@${serverUrl.hostname}/${publishRepo}.git`;

Should we read the ENV variable or should it be handed into the action by an input?
I can PR both, what is the better design - I am a novice!?

The former is the best because GITHUB_SERVER_URL can provide a URL of a company's GitHub Enterprise Server.
