# Checkout V2 beta
|
|
|
|
This action checks-out your repository under `$GITHUB_WORKSPACE`, so your workflow can access it.
|
|
|
|
By default, the repository that triggered the workflow is checked-out, for the ref/SHA that triggered the event.
|
|
|
|
Refer [here](https://help.github.com/en/articles/events-that-trigger-workflows) to learn which commit `$GITHUB_SHA` points to for different events.
|
|
|
|
# What's new
|
|
|
|
- Improved fetch performance
|
|
- The default behavior now fetches only the commit being checked-out
|
|
- Script authenticated git commands
|
|
- Persists the input `token` in the local git config
|
|
- Enables your scripts to run authenticated git commands
|
|
- Post-job cleanup removes the token
|
|
- Opt out by setting the input `persist-credentials: false`
|
|
- Creates a local branch
|
|
- No longer detached HEAD when checking out a branch
|
|
- A local branch is created with the corresponding upstream branch set
|
|
- Improved layout
|
|
- The input `path` is always relative to $GITHUB_WORKSPACE
|
|
- Aligns better with container actions, where $GITHUB_WORKSPACE gets mapped in
|
|
- Fallback to REST API download
|
|
- When Git 2.18 or higher is not in the PATH, the REST API will be used to download the files
|
|
- Removed input `submodules`
|
|
|
|
Refer [here](https://github.com/actions/checkout/blob/v1/README.md) for previous versions.

# Usage
|
|
|
|
<!-- start usage -->
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v2-beta
|
|
with:
|
|
# Repository name with owner. For example, actions/checkout
|
|
# Default: ${{ github.repository }}
|
|
repository: ''
|
|
|
|
# The branch, tag or SHA to checkout. When checking out the repository that
|
|
# triggered a workflow, this defaults to the reference or SHA for that event.
|
|
# Otherwise, defaults to `master`.
|
|
ref: ''
|
|
|
|
# Auth token used to fetch the repository. The token is stored in the local git
|
|
# config, which enables your scripts to run authenticated git commands. The
|
|
# post-job step removes the token from the git config.
|
|
# Default: ${{ github.token }}
|
|
token: ''
|
|
|
|
# Whether to persist the token in the git config
|
|
# Default: true
|
|
persist-credentials: ''
|
|
|
|
# Relative path under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE to place the repository
|
|
path: ''
|
|
|
|
# Whether to execute `git clean -ffdx && git reset --hard HEAD` before fetching
|
|
# Default: true
|
|
clean: ''
|
|
|
|
# Number of commits to fetch. 0 indicates all history.
|
|
# Default: 1
|
|
fetch-depth: ''
|
|
|
|
# Whether to download Git-LFS files
|
|
# Default: false
|
|
lfs: ''
|
|
```
|
|
<!-- end usage -->
|
|
|
|
## Checkout a different branch
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v2-beta
|
|
with:
|
|
ref: some-branch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Checkout a different, private repository
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v2-beta
|
|
with:
|
|
repository: myAccount/myRepository
|
|
ref: refs/heads/master
|
|
token: ${{ secrets.GitHub_PAT }} # `GitHub_PAT` is a secret that contains your PAT
|
|
```
|
|
> - `${{ github.token }}` is scoped to the current repository, so if you want to checkout another repository that is private you will need to provide your own [PAT](https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line).
|
|
|
|
## Checkout the HEAD commit of a PR, rather than the merge commit
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v2-beta
|
|
with:
|
|
ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }}
|
|
```
