## gh-action--git-checkout@master

Extends `actions/checkout` action script mainly to be able to checkout an empty repository with additional features.

You need simply replace the `uses` value in a workflow script:

`actions/checkout@v3` -> `andry81-devops/gh-action--git-checkout@master`

If remote repository exists but has no any branch reference, then the action script does use `mkdir` bash shell command to create a directory from the `path` parameter and `git init` to initialize a working copy.

Additionally, the action script does use `mkdir -p` bash shell command to allocate a working copy subdirectories from the `mkdir-p` extra parameter.

[Example snippet](https://github.com/andry81-devops/gh-action--git-checkout#example-snippet)

## gh-action--check-os-version@master

> [!WARNING]

> Currently implemented ONLY a Linux version details check.

Use set of commands and features to request OS version details:

* > ${{ runner.os }}

* > echo "$ImageOS: $ImageVersion"

* > cat '/etc/os-release'

* > lsb_release -a

* > hostnamectl

* > uname -r

> [!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.
