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

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.
