Suppose there are 2 workflow-files, `test.yml` and `release.yml`,
and you want to keep actions in `test.yml` up to date.
On the other hand, suppose you want to keep the current actions in `release.yml`.
`test.yml`
```yaml
jobs:
testing:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: setup node
uses: actions/[email protected]
- name: checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: detect newer actions
uses: mike-neck/[email protected]
id: newer-action
with:
token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
exclude-workflows: "release" # ignore release.yml
output-file: 'build/newer-actions.json' # outputs results into file
- name: show newer actions in json
run: echo "${OUTPUT}" | jq '.'
env:
OUTPUT: ${{ steps.newer-action.outputs.diff }} # output has json format
```
