* add docs about checking out the triggering ref * clarify checkout behavior
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@master
- uses: actions/setup-node@master
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, specify that using with.ref
:
- uses: actions/checkout@master
with:
ref: some-branch
