Sync a Repo like subdir of another
ActionsTags
(2)This action sync a repository when pushed changes to another repository, like subdir.
I have a Repo with HTML slides and I pushed changes frequently. I also have a second repository which is also a Github Page. This action publish my commits of the first repo in the second one. In the target repository, the source will be copied like sub directory.
There are 3 required arguments:
##username/repository_name##: Target repository name (not url). Show actions/checkout documentation.##commit_github_username##: User to show like Author in Github Commit##subdir_name_on_target##: Name of directory on Target Repository
You have to define the secret API_TOKEN_GITHUB in the source repo secrets section. You have define a Token here (set the repo permission).
Create an action file .github/workflows/action-sync-repos.yml in your source repo (where do you want to commit) with the next code:
on: [push]
jobs:
sync-with-gh-page:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
name: Sync this repo with GH pages
steps:
- name: Checkout source repository
uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
path: source-repo
- name: Checkout target repository
uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
repository: ##username/repository_name##
path: target-repo
token: ${{ secrets.API_TOKEN_GITHUB }}
- name: Sync the repo
