Cocogitto github action
This action uses cocogitto to check your repository is conventional commit and perform auto-release.
Requirement
-
Before running this action you need to call checkout action with
fetch-depth: 0
. This is mandatory, otherwise not all commit will be fetched and cocogitto will fail to execute (see actions/checkout for more info). -
Cocogitto assumes you are running on a x86 linux runner.
Example
on: [push]
jobs:
cog_check_job:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
name: check conventional commit compliance
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
with:
fetch-depth: 0
- name: Conventional commit check
uses: cocogitto/cocogitto-action@v3
If you are running your workflow on: [pull_request]
,
additional setup for actions/checkout
is needed to checkout the right commit:
on: [pull_request]
jobs:
cog_check_job:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
name: check conventional commit compliance
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
with:
fetch-depth: 0
# pick the pr HEAD instead of the merge commit
ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }}
- name: Conventional commit check
uses: cocogitto/cocogitto-action@v3
If you are familiar with cocogitto this will run cog check
and nothing else.
Check commits since latest tag
In some case you might want to perform check only since the latest tagged version. If your repository has not always been conventional commits compliant, then you probably want to use this option.
- name: Conventional commit check
uses: cocogitto/cocogitto-action@v3
with:
check-latest-tag-only: true
Let us assume the following git history :
* 9b609bc - (HEAD -> main) WIP: feat unfinished work
* d832ca4 - feat: working on feature A
* d5ce110 - (tag: 0.1.0) chore: release 0.1.0
* 8f25a4b - chore: a commit before tag 0.1.0
Using check-latest-tag-only: true
here would make cocogitto check for the two commits made since
tag 0.1.0
, the action would fail on HEAD which contains the non-conventional commit
type 'WIP'.
Performing release
You can also use this action to perform releases (calling cog bump --auto
under the hood)
(see: cocogitto's auto bump).
- name: Semver release
uses: cocogitto/cocogitto-action@v3
id: release
with:
release: true
git-user: 'Cog Bot'
git-user-email: 'mycoolproject@org.org'
# The version number is accessible as a github action output
- name: Print version
run: "echo '${{ steps.release.outputs.version }}'"
Note that you probably want to set the git-user
and git-user-email
options to override the default the git signature for the release commit.
If you are not familiar with how cocogitto perform release, you might want to read the auto bump
and hook sections on cocogitto's documentation.
Post step run
Once the step is finished cocogitto's binary will be available in your path.
