Prompt Detail:
To sync two GitHub accounts using GitHub Actions, you can create a workflow that performs the following steps:
- Checkout the source code from one of the GitHub accounts using the
actions/checkout
action. - Clone the repository from the other GitHub account using the
actions/checkout
action with a different path. - Merge the changes from the source code into the cloned repository using the
git
command. You can use thegit merge
orgit pull
command to do this. - Push the changes back to the cloned repository using the
git
command.
Here's an example workflow that syncs two GitHub accounts:
yamlname: Sync GitHub Accounts
on:
push:
branches:
- main
jobs:
sync:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout Source Code
uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
repository: <source-repository>
ref: main
- name: Checkout Cloned Repository
uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
repository: <cloned-repository>
path: cloned-repo
token: ${{ secrets.CLONED_REPO_TOKEN }}
- name: Merge Changes
run: |
cd cloned-repo
git remote add source <source-repository>
git pull source main
- name: Push Changes
run: |
cd cloned-repo
git push origin main
In this example workflow, the actions/checkout
action is used to checkout the source code and the cloned repository. The CLONED_REPO_TOKEN
secret is used to authenticate with the cloned repository.
The git
command is used to merge the changes from the source code into the cloned repository, and then push the changes back to the cloned repository.
You can customize this workflow to suit your specific needs, such as using different branch names or configuring the git
command to merge changes in a different way.
