Working in @angular/fire@7.6.1 & firebase-tools@12.3.0:

1. Add this auth step before your deploy command using the secret generated by % firebase init hosting:github; use the output for the FIREBASE_TOKEN env variable:

- id:   auth
  uses: google-github-actions/auth@v1
  with:
    credentials_json: ${{ secrets.FIREBASE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_PROJECT_XYZ }}
    token_format:     access_token
