Retrieve all changed files relative to the default branch (pull_request*
based events) or a previous commit (push
based event) returning the absolute path to all changed files from the project root.
- Fast execution (0-2 seconds on average).
- Easy to debug.
- Boolean output indicating that certain files have been modified.
- Multiple repository support.
- List all files that have changed.
- Between the current pull request branch and the default branch.
- Between the last commit and the current pushed change.
- Restrict change detection to a subset of files.
- Report on files that have at least one change.
- Regex pattern matching on a subset of files.
NOTE:
⚠️
- IMPORTANT: For
push
events you need to includefetch-depth: 0
ORfetch-depth: 2
depending on your use case.- When using
persist-credentials: false
withactions/checkout@v2
you'll need to specify atoken
using thetoken
