# `open-turo/action-git-auth`
## Description
This [GitHub Action](https://docs.github.com/en/actions) provides a way to configure credentials for any utility that uses the git command, or any utility that uses the git command as a subprocess, or any utility that uses the git configuration file in its authentication and cloning.
Authenticates using URL patterns that match https://_server_/_prefix_\*. If no
matching URL exists, the action will not use the authentication credentials
presented via the `github-personal-access-token` input.
See
[here](https://portal2portal.blogspot.com/2021/09/today-i-learned-more-about-git-config.html)
for some additional background on git config as it relates to the problem this
action is solving, and
[here](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#Documentation/git-config.txt-urlltbasegtinsteadOf)
for general reference on git config from the official git documentation.

## Development
This section describes how to develop the project.
### Testing
In order to run tests for local development, first run `npm install` to download
dependencies, and then run `npm test` to run the test suite. This library uses
`jest` for its test suite.
### Packaging
In order for GitHub Actions to use this library, it must be packaged into the
`dist/` directory. As part of any pull request which changes the library, this
should be run.
**Run prepare**:
```bash
npm run prepare # Generate the dist/ files
git add dist/ # Add the dist/ files to the commit
```
### Releasing
Releases are created according to the [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/)
process. We also use the
[Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) messages
to determine what the release version is.
Once a PR has been merged, the repository maintainer is responsible for creating
a new release, as well as moving the floating release tag to the new commit.
