actions-template-sync

It is possible to create repositories within Github with GitHub templates. This is a nice approach to have some boilerplate within your repository. Over the time the template repository will get some code changes. The problem is that the already created repositories won't know about those changes. This GitHub action will help you to keep track of the template changes.

Features

• Sync template repository with the current repository

Usage

GitHub Actions

Add this configuration to your github action

# File: .github/workflows/template-sync.yml

on:
  schedule:
  - cron:  "*/15 * * * *"
jobs:
  repo-sync:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      # To use this repository's private action, you must check out the repository
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: actions-template-sync
        uses: actions/actions-template-sync
        with:
          github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          source_repo_path: <the_path_to_the_repo>

You will receive a pull request within your repository if there are some changes available.
