Get git diff
git diff ${FROM}${DOT}${TO} '--diff-filter=${DIFF_FILTER}' --name-only
e.g. (default)
DOT: '...' DIFF_FILTER: 'AMRC'
=>
git diff ${FROM}...${TO} '--diff-filter=AMRC' --name-only
=>
.github/workflows/ci.yml __tests__/utils/command.test.ts package.json src/main.ts src/utils/command.ts src/docs.md yarn.lock
-
Filtered by
PATTERNS
optione.g.
PATTERNS: | src/**/*.+(ts|md) !src/utils/*
=>
src/main.ts src/docs.md
-
Filtered by
FILES
optione.g.
FILES: package.json
=>
package.json anywhere/package.json
-
Mapped to absolute if
ABSOLUTE
option is true (default: false)e.g.
/home/runner/work/my-repo-name/my-repo-name/src/main.ts /home/runner/work/my-repo-name/my-repo-name/src/docs.md
-
Combined by
SEPARATOR
optione.g. (default)
SEPARATOR: ' '
=>

GitHub Actions doesn't support working-directory
for uses
, so you can't run this action separately for monorepo configuration, etc. However, if you specify the RELATIVE
option, it will be used as --relative=<RELATIVE>
for git diff
.

PATTERNS: '*.ts'

- run: echo ${{ env.GIT_DIFF }}
If the files src/abc/test1.ts
, src/abc/test2.ts
, src/abc/test3.txt
, and src/test4.ts
exist, the result will be as follows:
> Run echo 'test1.ts' 'test2.ts'
