Add a Github Actions script that synchronizes the template every month.

[zyrafal]

Resolves #54

The script is located in .github/workflows/sync.yml and it synchronizes the template at 0:00 UTC the 1st day of every month.

I cloned a branch called "test/cd", which was 128 commits behind the "development" branch, into a new branch called "testing", and then I successfuly ran the script on it, proving that it works.

Can you show your test branch results? Once you proved this works, the second part of the task is to update all of the recently updated repositories with the script as well.

Doesn't this directly merge in the content instead of opening a pull-request? I think it would be less error prone to open a PR against the repo instead of directly merging the changes, so we can double check before they get in the repo, which is also in the spec.

[zyrafal]

Okay, the sync.yml script now creates a pull request.

Here is a pull request on the "testing" branch cloned from "test/cd": https://github.com/zyrafal/ts-template/pull/1

And on the "testing-2" branch I merged the pull request: https://github.com/zyrafal/ts-template/tree/testing-2

However, I haven't yet managed to get the other script to work, I'm still working on it.

[zyrafal]

I didn't manage to get the script that adds it to every repo working as a Github Action, but it works when you run it in shell:

git clone https://github.com/zyrafal/ts-template
cd ts-template/

sync_path=$(realpath .github/workflows/sync-template.yml)
original_remote=$(git remote get-url origin)
# repos=$(gh repo list ubiquity --limit 1 --json name,updatedAt -q '.[] | select(.updatedAt > (now - 30*24*60*60)) | .name')

for REPO in $repos; do
	gh repo fork --clone ubiquity/$repo
	cd $repo
	mkdir -p .github/workflows
	cp $sync_path .github/workflows/sync-template.yml
	git add .github/workflows/sync-template.yml
	git commit -m "Add sync-template.yml workflow"
	git push
	gh pr create --title "Add sync-template.yml workflow that synchronizes the template every month" --body "Details: https://github.com/ubiquity/ts-template/issues/54" --base development
        cd ..
        rm -rf $repo

Also, I created a new repository with the template and successfuly ran the sync script there (though there were no changes that needed to by synced): https://github.com/zyrafal/test-repo/pull/1

[gentlementlegen]

Could we rename this to sync-template.yml for clarity?

[gentlementlegen]

@zyrafal I tried on my own org, and it seems to crash if there are conflicts during the process, see the logs. Maybe creating an orphan branch would solve this problem.

[zyrafal]

Okay, I think it works now.

[gentlementlegen]

The workflow seemed to work: Meniole/command-start-stop#11

It just doesn't seem super easy to use because I would have many files to delete, since the template covers a lot of cases. I Wonder if we could add some configuration values to ignore certain files (the README for example) dynamically.

Can you get it to auth as our bot like in our other ci

[zyrafal]

Done.

This requires every repo to have our credentials stored because this comes from an automated workflow and doesn't get the credentials from the kernel, I don't think that's very practical.

[0x4007]

Every repo has our credentials stored. It's an org secret.
