# Git Mirroring Action

**This is being tested, and is subject to change**

This simple action can be used to push git objects to a secondary

repository.

There are other actions out there that do similar things, but none that

quite meet our use-case.

Currently, this only supports pushing tags - trying to run this action

without providing a `tag` input will generate an error.

As an example where this is being used with a tagging action where you

want to ensure the tag is pushed to another remote:

```yaml

name: Bump Tag

on:

  push:

    branches:

      - master

jobs:

  build:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:

    - name: Checkout

    - uses: actions/checkout@v2

      with:

        fetch-depth: '0'

    - name: Bump tag

      id: bump_tag

      uses: anothrNick/github-tag-action@master

      env:

        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

        WITH_V: true

    - name: Push Tag to mirror

      id: push_to_mirror

      uses: mysociety/action-git-pusher@v1.3.0

      with:

        git_ssh_key: ${{ secrets.SOME_GIT_KEY }}

        ssh_known_hosts: ${{ secrets.SOME_KNOWN_HOSTS }}

        tag: ${{ steps.bump_tag.outputs.new_tag }}

        remote: 'ssh://username@git.example.com/path/to/repository.git'

```

To add extra flags to the git push command, you can use the `extra_git_config` input.

```yaml

    - name: Test force pushing to mirror

      id: push_to_mirror

      uses: mysociety/action-git-pusher@v1.3.0

      with:

        git_ssh_key: ${{ secrets.SOME_GIT_KEY }}

        ssh_known_hosts: ${{ secrets.SOME_KNOWN_HOSTS }}

        tag: ${{ steps.bump_tag.outputs.new_tag }}

        remote: 'ssh://username@git.example.com/path/to/repository.git'

        extra_git_config: --force --dry-run

```
