# do-git-from-action

exploring how to do git from an github action

## actions/checkout

The checkout action is already authenticated, so you can do git stuff without fuss

> The auth token is persisted in the local git config. This enables your scripts to run authenticated git commands.

– https://github.com/actions/checkout#push-a-commit-using-the-built-in-token

## Github CLI

You can do repo admin via the preauthenticatred Github CLI in an action

> GitHub CLI is preinstalled on all GitHub-hosted runners. For each step that uses GitHub CLI, you must set an environment variable called GITHUB_TOKEN to a token with the required scopes.

>

> You can execute any GitHub CLI command. For example, this workflow uses the gh issue comment subcommand to add a comment when an issue is opened.

– https://docs.github.com/en/actions/guides/using-github-cli-in-workflows

## actions/github-script

You can write fancy, preauthenticated JavaScripts to do all sorts of things:

> This action makes it easy to quickly write a script in your workflow that uses the GitHub API and the workflow run context.

```

on:

  issues:

    types: [opened]

jobs:

  comment:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:

      - uses: actions/github-script@v4

        with:

          script: |

            github.issues.createComment({

              issue_number: context.issue.number,

              owner: context.repo.owner,

              repo: context.repo.repo,

              body: '👋 Thanks for reporting!'

            })

```

> Note that github-token is optional in this action, and the input is there in case you need to use a non-default token.

> By default, github-script will use the token provided to your workflow.
