# Has Changes

GitHub action for checking if the repo is dirty (has uncommitted changes).

## Why?

This is useful for things like checking if you need to open a pull

request for any changes that may be introduced through another action.

## How?

Add a step in a job after any steps whose code changes you want to check.

You will then be able to check the status in subsequent steps.

You do this by checking if `changed` is equal to `1`.

The value will be 0 if no code has been changed by any previous steps.

## Example

```yaml

name: Has Changes

jobs:

  has-changes:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:

    - uses: actions/checkout@v2

      with:

        ref: ${{ github.head_ref }}

    - name: Make changes

      run: touch change.temp

    # This step will evaluate the repo status and report the change

    - name: Check if there are changes

      id: changes

      uses: UnicornGlobal/[email protected]

    # You can now access a variable indicating if there have been changes

    - name: Process changes

      if: steps.changes.outputs.changed == 1

      run: echo "Changes exist"

```

The example shows that adding a step to check the status will expose the

status on the `${{ steps.changes.outputs.changed }}` variable.

The `steps.changes` is defined by the `id: changes`. If you change the id

value then the step name must change too (as it references the id).
