GitHub Actions status

Checkout

This action checks out your repository to $GITHUB_WORKSPACE, so that your workflow can access the contents of your repository.

By default, this is equivalent to running git fetch and git checkout $GITHUB_SHA, so that you'll always have your repo contents at the version that triggered the workflow. See here to learn what $GITHUB_SHA is for different kinds of events.

Usage

See action.yml

Basic:

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v1
- uses: actions/setup-node@v1
  with:
    node-version: 10.x 
- run: npm install
- run: npm test

By default, the branch or tag ref that triggered the workflow will be checked out. If you wish to check out a different branch, a different repository or use different token to checkout, specify that using with.ref, with.repository and with.token.

Checkout different branch from the workflow repository

- uses: actions/checkout@v1
  with:
    ref: some-branch

Checkout different private repository

- uses: actions/checkout@v1
  with:
    repository: myAccount/myRepository
    ref: refs/heads/master
    token: ${{ secrets.GitHub_PAT }} # `GitHub_PAT` is a secret contains your PAT.
  • ${{ github.token }} is scoped to the current repository, so if you want to checkout another repository that is private you will need to provide your own PAT.

Checkout private submodules

- uses: actions/checkout@v1
  with:
    submodules: true # 'recursive' 'true' or 'false'
    token: ${{ secrets.GitHub_PAT }} # `GitHub_PAT` is a secret contains your PAT.
  • Private submodules must be configured via https not ssh.
  • ${{ github.token }} only has permission to the workflow triggering repository. If the repository contains any submodules that come from private repositories, you will need to add your PAT as secret and use the secret in with.token to make the checkout action work.
