Description

Clone the releases in one repo to this one

This github action can clone releases from a source repo to your repo. This is useful if you are using a repo to build container images for an upstream container. You can run this action on a cron schedule to pick up new releases and build new containers.

Usage

On each run, it will find all releases in repo and the repo you are running your action on, find any releases that exist in repo and not in your repo, and then will create those releases in your repo.

Example workflow

name: Clone
on:
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Run action
        # Put your action repo here
        uses: andrewthetechie/gha-clone-releases@v1
        # Put an example of your mandatory inputs here
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
