How to use

This repository contains the following GitHub Action workflows:

    • Repository URL: URL of the project's repo (HTTPS)
    • Folder Name: You can specify a folder name to keep the submodule (eg: project name)

  • You can also trigger the above workflow using the following CURL, replace username and repo with your own username and repo name, also replace the request body with the actual repo and folder name to add:

export TOKEN="" # get it from https://github.com/settings/tokens
curl --location --request POST 'https://api.github.com/repos/{username}/{repo}/actions/workflows/add-project.yml/dispatches' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN' \
--header 'Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "ref": "main",
    "inputs": {
        "repo_url": "https://github.com/gautamkrishnar/homebrew-socli.git",
        "folder_name": "homebrew"
    }
}'
  • Update Projects - This workflow will run every hour updating the submodules to its latest state. It can be also triggered manually from actions tab.
