A Github Action to mirror one branch to another within the same repository
For example, if you've renamed your master branch to main, but a lot of
links out on the web hard-code the old name, you could mirror the main branch
back to master so those links keep working.
To use this Action, create a file called .github/workflows/mirror.yml with the
following contents:
on:
push:
branches:
- 'SOURCE_BRANCH_NAME'
jobs:
mirror_job:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
name: Mirror SOURCE_BRANCH_NAME branch to DESTINATION_BRANCH_NAME branch
steps:
- name: Mirror action step
id: mirror
uses: google/mirror-branch-action@v1.0
with:
github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
source: 'SOURCE_BRANCH_NAME'
dest: 'DESTINATION_BRANCH_NAME'
With SOURCE_BRANCH_NAME and DESTINATION_BRANCH_NAME replaced as appropriate.
