github-action-make-go-github-file

Synopsis

Make a github.go file.

Overview

The GitHub Action creates a pull request with updated values in github.go.

Inputs

Input	Description	Required	Default
file	The file to create.	No	cmd/github.go
package	The package name for the package statement.	No	cmd
actor	GitHub actor for signed commits. Must correspond to the noreply email used to create the GPG key.	No
github_token	GitHub token for Git push authentication.	No	${{ github.token }}

Prerequisites

The calling workflow must checkout the repository before using this action. The checkout step should use persist-credentials: false and fetch-depth: "0".

Usage

1. A .github/workflows/make-go-github-file.yaml file that creates a cmd/github.go file for "package cmd". Example:

   name: make-go-github-file.yaml
   
   on:
     push:
       tags:
         - "[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+"
   
   jobs:
     build:
       name: Update cmd/github.go
       runs-on: ubuntu-latest
       steps:
         - name: Checkout repository
           uses: actions/checkout@v4
           with:
             fetch-depth: "0"
             persist-credentials: false
         - name: Make github.go file
           uses: Senzing/github-action-make-go-github-file@v2

2. A .github/workflows/make-go-github-file.yaml file that creates a example/example.go file for "package myexample". Example:

   name: make-go-github-file.yaml
   
   on:
     push:
       tags:
         - "[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+"
   
   jobs:
     build:
       name: Update cmd/github.go
       runs-on: ubuntu-latest
       steps:
         - name: Checkout repository
           uses: actions/checkout@v4
           with:
             fetch-depth: "0"
             persist-credentials: false
         - name: Make github.go file
           uses: Senzing/github-action-make-go-github-file@v2
           with:
             file: example/example.go
             package: myexample

3. A .github/workflows/make-go-github-file.yaml file that creates a cmd/github.go file for "package cmd" using a signed commit. Example:

   name: make-go-github-file.yaml
   
   on:
     push:
       tags:
         - "[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+"
   
   jobs:
     build:
       name: Update cmd/github.go
       runs-on: ubuntu-latest
       steps:
         - name: Checkout repository
           uses: actions/checkout@v4
           with:
             fetch-depth: "0"
             persist-credentials: false
         - name: Import GPG key
           uses: crazy-max/ghaction-import-gpg@v6
           with:
             gpg_private_key: ${{ secrets.GPG_PRIVATE_KEY }}
             passphrase: ${{ secrets.PASSPHRASE }}
             git_user_signingkey: true
             git_commit_gpgsign: true
         - name: Make github.go file
           uses: Senzing/github-action-make-go-github-file@v2
           with:
             actor: ${{ secrets.ACTOR }}
