Reusable workflows for replicatedhq

This repository holds reusable GitHub Actions workflows that can be used across multiple repositories in the replicatedhq organization.

More information on using reusable workflows can be found here.

Usage

1. Create a workflow yaml file under .github/workflows. Where possible, use the naming convention <domain>-<action>.yaml, e.g. pr-enforce-labels.yaml. [docs] Example workflow:

on:
  workflow_call:
    inputs:
      greeting:
        description: 'A greeting to display'
        required: true
  jobs:
    say-hello:
      runs-on: ubuntu-latest
      steps:
        - name: Greet
          run: |
            echo "${{ inputs.greeting }}" 

• Reusable workflows are triggered with the workflow_call event [docs].
• Inputs and secrets should be used to parameterize the workflow to maximize the reuse potential.
  • Secrets are not passed to called workflows by default. In order to pass secrets, they must either be defined in the workflow, or secrets: inherit must be set on the caller.
• Prefer using specific versions for runs-on instead of ubuntu-latest. Since these workflows may be used in multiple repositories, any breaking behavior introduced in a new runner image may have a wide blast radius.

2. Add a job to the calling workflow in the repository where you would like to run the reusable workflow. [docs] Example:

jobs:
  greet:
    uses: replicatedhq/reusable-workflows/.github/workflows/say-hello.yaml@main
    with:
      greeting: Hi there!

• To pin to a specific version of the repo, add the GitHub SHA ref to the uses field, e.g. replicatedhq/reusable-workflows/.github/workflows/say-hello.yaml@1a2b3c4
  • There are no current plans to tag versions in this repo.
