GitHub composite action extension of actions/checkout action.
Tutorial to use with: https://github.com/andry81-devops/github-action-extensions
All tutorials: https://github.com/andry81/index#tutorials
##
# gh-action--git-checkout@master
**Features**:
* Checks if a remote repository does exist and has a branch reference to delegate all input into https://github.com/actions/checkout action.
* Otherwise calls to `mkdir` + `git init` instead of call to the `actions/checkout` action script.
* Additionally can create working copy subdirectories after the call (`mkdir-p` extra parameter). Has a difference with a working copy subdirectory creation before the checkout, because the `action/checkout` action script does cleanup a working copy directory before the checkout.
# USAGE
## Example snippet:
```yml
steps:
- uses: andry81-devops/gh-action--git-checkout@master
with:
repository: ...
ref: ...
path: ...
token: ...
mkdir-p: >-
...
```
> [!NOTE]
> See REUSE section for details if you have multiple repositories and want to store all GitHub workflow scripts (`.github/workflows/*.yml`) in a single repository.
