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/42-submit-action@v0.1.1
        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
- ...

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
