GitHub action to login to a tenant using Office 365 CLI.
This GitHub Action (created using typescript) uses Office 365 CLI, specifically the login command, to allow you log in to Office 365.
Create a workflow .yml file in your .github/workflows directory. An example workflow is available below. For more information, reference the GitHub Help Documentation for Creating a workflow file.
ADMIN_USERNAME: Required Username (email address of the admin)ADMIN_PASSWORD: Required Password of the admin
Since this action requires user name and password which are sensitive pieces of information, it would be ideal to store them securely. We can achieve this in a GitHub repo by using secrets. So, click on settings tab in your repo and add 2 new secrets:
adminUsername- store the admin user name in this (e.g. user@contoso.onmicrosoft.com)adminPassword- store the password of that user in this. These secrets are encrypted and can only be used by GitHub actions.
On every push build the code and then login to Office 365 before deploying.
