copier-update

Action to update copier-templated repo from upstream

Configuration

If you're using a GitHub organization, navigate to your organization's action settings (like https://github.com/organizations/your-org-name-here/settings/actions) and toggle Read and write permissions under Workflow Permissions.

Create a personal access token and store it in an actions secret. In the below example, we've named it WORKFLOW_SECRET.

Now you can create a workflow like .github/workflow/copier.yml:

name: Copier Updates

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
  schedule:
    - cron: "0 5 * * 0"

jobs:
  update:
    permissions:
      contents: write
      pull-requests: write
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions-ext/copier-update@main
      with:
        token: ${{ secrets.WORKFLOW_TOKEN }}
