## Description
Clone the releases in one repo to this one
This github action can clone releases from a source repo to your repo. This is useful if you are using a repo to build container
images for an upstream container. You can run this action on a cron schedule to pick up new releases and build new containers.
## Usage
On each run, it will find all releases in `src_repo` and the `dest_repo`, find any releases that exist in `src_repo` and not in your `dest_repo`, and then will create those releases in `dest_repo`.
If you don't define a `dest_repo`, it will use the repo the action is running on as a destination.
### Private Repos
To use this repo with a private repo, you must use a Personal Access Token with access to both the `src_repo` and `dest_repo` as your `token`.
### Github Enterprise
This action supports setting the Github API URL for both the `src_repo` and `dest_repo` separately, allowing you to clone releases between GHE and Github, or to use this action with GHE based repos.
### Example workflow
Here is an example usage of this workflow. If you set this up, every time it runs it would create releases in your repo that mirror the releases in andrewthetechie/testrepo.
```yaml
name: Clone
on:
# kick off the job on demand
workflow_dispatch:
# and run on a schedule every 12 hours
schedule:
- cron: "* */12 * * *"
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Run action
uses: andrewthetechie/gha-clone-releases@v1
with:
token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
src_repo: andrewthetechie/test-repo
```
