One job is auto update, which can be enabled as follows: 4 + 5 +* Repo > Settings > 6 + * General > 7 + * Pull Requests > enable "Allow auto-merge". 8 + * Branches > Add classic branch protection rule 9 + * Branch name pattern: main 10 + * Enable "Require status checks to pass before merging". 11 + * Actions > General > Workflow permissions > enable "Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests" 12 + * If option is greyed out, then probably the project policy is dictated by the repository policy. Simply do this in repository settings then. 13 +* Copy the workflow file from this project. The key configs are the "permissions" to include "contents: write, pull-requests: write" and the "auto-merge" step. 14 + 15 +If you don't need a private module from the same repository, you must delete the "Authenticate for private modules" job. Otherwise, the following steps are necessary: 16 + 17 +* GitHub > Profile > Settings > Developer Settings > Personal Access Tokens > Tokens (classic) > Generate new token 18 + * Name: ACTIONS_TOKEN 19 + * Select scopes: "repo" 20 + * Copy the token 21 +* Repo > Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions > New repository secret > 22 + * Name: MY_TOKEN 23 + * You need to set "environment: MY_TOKEN" in the workflow file to use its environment secrets 24 + * Environment Secrets > Add environment secret 25 + * Name: ACTIONS_TOKEN 26 + * Value: 27 + 28 +Add this to the workflow file: 29 + 30 + - name: Authenticate for private modules 31 + env: 32 + ACTIONS_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.ACTIONS_TOKEN }} 33 + run: | 34 + git config --global url."https://${ACTIONS_TOKEN}:x-oauth-basic@github.com/".insteadOf "https://github.com/" 35 + go env -w GOPRIVATE=github.com/ocelot-cloud/* 36 + 37 +This is a sample file how the weekly updates can be conducted via GitHub Actions.
