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.

On each run, it will find all releases in src_repo and the dest_repo, find any releases that exist in src_repo and not in your dest_repo, and then will create those releases in dest_repo.

If you don't define a dest_repo, it will use the repo the action is running on as a destination.

To use this repo with a private repo, you must use a Personal Access Token with access to both the src_repo and dest_repo as your token.

Currently, this action does not support Github Enterprise. If you would like to see support for Github Enterprise, please vote on this issue.

Here is an example usage of this workflow. If you set this up, every time it runs it would create releases in your repo that mirror the releases in andrewthetechie/testrepo.

name: Clone
on:
  # kick off the job on demand
  workflow_dispatch:
  # and run on a schedule every 12 hours
  schedule:
    - cron: "* */12 * * *"
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Run action
        uses: andrewthetechie/gha-clone-releases@v1
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          src_repo: andrewthetechie/test-repo

This action is a docker action.
