git2jamf

This action grabs the github repository (or any subdfolder of your choice) scans it for scripts and will create or update those scripts in jamf.

It starts by comparing filename of the github script (without the extension) against the name of the script in jamf:

If it doesn't exist, it will create it
if it exists, it will compare the hash of the body of both scripts and update it in jamf if they differ. Github is always treated as the source.
If enabled, it will add a prefix with the branch name_ to a script.

After creating and updating scripts, if enabled, it can delete any leftover script that is not found in github, thus keeping Github as your one source.

Future state

Inputs

`jamf_url`

Required the url of your jamf instance

`jamf_auth_type`

Optional Defaults to auth but can be set to oauth to use client_id and client_secret instead of a username and password.

`jamf_username`

Required the username to auth against jamf. If auth_type is set to oauth, this is the client_id . This user should have permission to update and create scripts.

`jamf_password`

Required password for the user. If auth_type is set to oauth, this is the client_secret

`script_dir`

optional the directory where the scripts to upload will be, this could be a subdirectoy in your repository path/to/scripts. By default it will try to sync all .sh and .py files from the repo, so it's greatly recommended to provide this input, you can look for multiple subdirectories that share the same name, just provide a name like **/scripts

`script_extensions`

optional the extensions for the types of files we'll be searching for. By default it tries to look for *.sh and *.py files. To change the behavior, separate each extension with spaces and no periods. ie sh py ps1

`delete`

optional by default this will be false, if enabled it will delete any scripts that are not found in the github folder you're syncing. Don't enable this and the prefix at the same time if you're running multiple workflows, they're not compatible

`prefix`

optional by default this will be false, it will add the branch name as a prefix to the script before uploading it.

Outputs

`results`

what scripts were updated

Getting started.

First, you'll want to create the secrets that will be needed for this to work. You can do this in the settings of your repository, you'll reference those secrets in the workflow file.
Now create the workflow file in .github/workflows/git2jamf.yml
You can use the example bellow as a basis(replace the secret values for the names of the ones you created).
In this example, the action runs only when a push is sent to master and it's attempting to sync a folder called scripts at the root of the repository.
You can customize it further using githubs workflow documentation

NOTE: If possible, I recommend running this on a test instance first. If you can't, then try syncing just one folder with a small set of scripts so you can get a feel for how it works.

name: git2jamf
on:
  push:
    branches: 
      - master
jobs:
  jamf_scripts:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: git2jamf
    steps:
      - name: checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: git2jamf
        uses: jgarcesres/git2jamf@master
        with: 
          jamf_url: ${{ secrets.jamf_test_url }}
          jamf_username: ${{ secrets.jamf_test_username }}
          jamf_password: ${{ secrets.jamf_test_password }}
          script_dir: 'scripts'

Example usage with 2 instances

you would probably have 2 sets of secrets, with url and credentials for each instance(or share the same user creds across both servers). You also will need 2 workflow files: one for pushes to the master branch and another that goes to test.

          jamf_password: ${{ secrets.jamf_prod_password }}
          script_dir: '**/scripts'

Example usage with one instance

The prefix remains enabled for the test branch. This might create a bit of "garbage" as the scripts that have a prefix won't be deleted automatically.
