Cross Commit

Github action that allows synchronizing parts of repositories. It runs rsync between source folder in current repository to destination repository and destination folder and creates a commit in destination repository. Typical usage is for synchronizing to GitOps state repositories from source code.

Usage

See action.yml

Example:

steps:
- name: Commit to state repository
  uses: drud/action-cross-commit@master
  with:
    source-folder: config
    destination-repository: https://<user>:${{ secrets.user_token }}@github.com/org/dest-repo
    destination-folder: .
    destination-branch: alpha
    git-user: "Git User"
    git-user-email: git-user@email.com
    git-commit-message: "Custom commit message (optional)"
    git-commit-sign-off: "false"
    excludes: README.md:.git:path/deeper/in/the/repo

The example above will trigger rsync that will synchronize the files in ./config to repository github.com/org/dest-repo root using user credentials (can be stored as Github secrets) and create commit on alpha branch. The rsync will exclude /.git, /README.md and /path/deeper/in/the/repo from both repositories during the synchronization.
