There is a private repo and have a GitHub Actions.
If I make pull request between branches in this repo, GitHub Actions triggered correctly.
name: CI
on:
pull_request:
branches:
- pre-production
- production
jobs:
build:
runs-on: self-hosted
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout#v3
with:
fetch-depth: 2
...
Another developer who only has read premission fork this repo, make some commits, then pull request to the Upstream. The GitHub Actions doesn't been triggered. I have confirmed that he pull request to the correct branch.
Is there any setting let other developer who only has read premission trigger the action in Upstream?
Updated:
There is a option in repo settings called "Run workflows from fork pull requests" but I cannot enable it.
Finally, I found a setting called "Run workflows from fork pull requests". Enable it will solve the problem.
If the repo is under an organization, we should enabled it in the organization setting. After that, we can enable it in the repo setting.

I am able to run workflows on GitHub fine. But I don't want my git history to contain anything unrelated to the development of the software, and nothing specific to any one code hosting site, e.g., GitHub. Basically I don't want to add and track .github/workflows/ in my git repo.
Thinking it would work, I created a separate branch, gh-actions, and added the .github/workflows/main.yml there.
on:
workflow_dispatch:
push:
branches:
- master
pull_request:
branches: [ master ]
jobs:
<snip>
But apparently this workflow won't even be registered by GH. So I added gh-actions branch to on: push: branches. After pushing this branch to GH, the workflow was registered (checked with gh workflow list).
Now I went to run it on the default branch and got error.
$ gh workflow run .github/workflows/main.yml --ref master
could not create workflow dispatch event: HTTP 422: Workflow does not have 'workflow_dispatch' trigger (https://api.github.com/repos/3N4N/TwitchRecover/actions/workflows/14900813/dispatches)
Apparently workflow_dispatch event only works if it's in the default branch.
I'm now out of ideas. One final way is to change the default branch to gh-actions so that the workflow can be run on master branch, but that would mean that cloning this repository would by default clone the gh-actions branch, and I would rather not deal with that.
If anyone else has any idea, I'd be glad to try it.
I have a GitHub Action workflow that I want to run on a push to any of the branches in my repository with an exception of 'Master. I don't want the workflow to run on a push to master branch but run on push to other branches in my repository. Please how can I specify that in the workflow?
In your Github Actions workflows file you can specify
name: Deploy staging
on:
push:
branches-ignore:
- master
You can also explicitly include branches you want by doing the following:
name: Deploy staging
on:
push:
branches:
- develop
Changing or adding branches to include the relevant branches that you want. In this manner, workflows will only run to those elected branches.
Here is the relevant section of the Github docs on branches and tags
Problem:
Inherently, github actions has no information about the code within the repo it's being run in. To rid that problem, there is the actions/checkout workflow that is the defacto start of most workflows.
Our enterprise account got locked down to only local actions only:
Because of this, we are not able to use the actions/checkout#v2 at the start of our workflow, thus rendering our Github Actions useless.
Proposed Solution
Fork the actions/checkout repo as a submodule of a repo and use that reference in my code like so:
steps:
- uses: <enterprise_name>/<repo_name>/checkout#main
When running this action as a test, I get this error message:
Error: Can't find 'action.yml', 'action.yaml' or 'Dockerfile' under
'/home/runner/work/_actions/<enterprise_name>/<repo_name>/main/checkout'.
Did you forget to run actions/checkout before running your local action?
So my question:
Is there a way to run a forked or local version of actions/checkout? The above example is telling me, I can't run a local version of actions/checkout because I have clone the repo which is ironic error.
You need to push the actions/checkout repo into an internal or public repo on your enterprise. Then update your workflow to reference organization/repo#2 instead.
After forking the actions/checkout repo to my jessehouwing-actions this would result in the following update of the YAML:
steps:
# Checks-out your repository under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE, so your job can access it
- uses: actions/checkout#v3
Would become:
steps:
# Checks-out your repository under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE, so your job can access it
- uses: jessehouwing-actions/checkout#v3
Don't use submodules.
I host my git-repo on GitHub.com. Several developers contribute code to either the develop- or feature branch respectively. Once all the tests have passed, the changes are merged into master.
Now, once such a pull-request/merge has been done, the master brach shall be pushed automatically to another GitHub-Repo (where another team picks it up). This is when "Workflows" come into play.
So I created this yaml file to trigger a "git push" after a successfull pull-requrest:
name: push master to official repository
on:
pull_request:
types: [closed]
jobs:
gitHubPush:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- run: "git push https://github.com/OFFICIAL/MyProject master"
But this doesn't work. I get:
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
Error: Process completed with exit code 128.
The GitHub Account is registered as "Contributor" on OFFICIAL.
Can you help me out ?
You have to checkout your repository first:
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout#v2

I have a personal website on a GitHub repo called personal-website and every-time I am making changes locally, I have to SSH into my server (DigitalOcean), go to var/www/personal-website and make a git pull.
I am trying to find a way to pull from the master every-time there is a push into the same branch. I read about GitHub actions and wrote a file on .github/workflows/devops.yml
name: Build and Deploy
on:
push:
branches: master
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout#v2
GitHub Actions result of Build and Deploy job
On my GitHub Actions page, the job is successful. However, there is no automatic pull request that is done on the server side. How can I fix this?
Make a .sh script and do git pull / git commit / git push
