This guide describes how to schedule a full safe-settings sync using GitHub Actions. This assumes that an admin
repository has been configured with your safe-settings
configuration. Refer to the How to Use docs for more details on that process.
Follow the Create the GitHub App guide to create an App in your GitHub account. This will allow safe-settings
to access and modify your repos.
Running a full-sync with safe-settings
can be done via npm run full-sync
. This requires installing Node, such as with actions/setup-node (see example below). When doing so, the appropriate environment variables must be set (see the Environment variables document for more details).
The below example uses the GHA "cron" feature to run a full-sync every 4 hours. While not required, this example uses the .github
repo as the admin
repo (set via ADMIN_REPO
env var) and the safe-settings configurations are stored in the safe-settings/
directory (set via CONFIG_PATH
and DEPLOYMENT_CONFIG_FILE
).
