create-commit-action

This is an action to push files using GitHub API.

Getting Started

To create a commit to a branch or tag:

jobs:
  build:
    steps:
      - uses: int128/create-commit-action@v1
        with:
          repository: ${{ github.repository }}
          ref: refs/heads/branch-name
          path: glob-pattern
          message: your-commit-message

If a branch or tag does not exist, this action creates it from default branch. Otherwise, this action updates it by fast-forward.

How it works

This action performs the following steps:

1. Upload file(s) as blob
2. Get the current commit and tree of a ref
3. Create a tree
4. Create a commit
5. Create or update a ref

This action will retry from step 2 if the optimistic lock fails, that is,

• The ref has been updated after step 2
• The ref did not exist at step 2 but exists at step 5
