42-submit-action

A github action that submits specified part of the repo to intra.42.fr. The author and the email are deduced from the latest commit.

🛑 Warning! Work in progress! 🛑

Current ready-to-use version is v0.1.1.

It is good enough to work for our minishell but that's it.

Example usage

- uses: Oktosha/[email protected]
        with:
          code-to-submit: kotishell
          intra-repo: ${{ secrets.INTRA_REPO_URL }}
          intra-ssh-key: ${{ secrets.SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_FOR_INTRA }}

You can find the full example in our minishell repo.

Todo

• Better parameters
  • passing author and commit message as optional parameter (can be especially nice for manual dispatch)
• Test commiting the whole repo and subdirs
  • multiple submitted dirs
  • submodules handling
  • testing submitting the whole repo (should work, but not tested)
  • testing starting with an empty intra repo (should work, but not tested)
• nice errors
  • message when there is nothing to commit
  • when the code-to-submit dir doesn't exist
  • when the ssh key doesn't work
  • ...
• More example workflows
• Docs overall

Things to read while the docs aren't ready

Super insightful read on ssh-agent: http://blog.joncairns.com/2013/12/understanding-ssh-agent-and-ssh-add/

Notes

A sensetive env variable is "unset" by assigning an empty line to it

run: echo "SSH_AUTH_SOCK=" >> "$GITHUB_ENV"

At the moment of writing there is no way to unset an env variable in an action, so I only override it actions/runner#1126
