apt-repo-update

GitHub action to automatically update an apt repository (located in the master branch) with new packages.

Very loosely based on https://github.com/jrandiny/apt-repo-action

Configuration

debug

[Not required] Print debugging information (true/false).

github_token

A personal access token to the repo with commit and push scope. Use a repository secret.

git_commit_message

Message used when committing to git repo. Defaults to "[apt-action] Update apt repo with last pushed updates." if not specified.

git_push_branch

Git repo branch to push to. Defaults to "master" if not specified.

repo_supported_arch

Newline-delimited list of supported architectures.

repo_supported_distro

Newline-delimited list of supported distributions. Note: update packages will be added to the repository for all of these distributions automatically.

repo_directory

Location of the APT repo folder relative to the Git repo root. The APT repository must already exist; this action will not create it for you. Defaults to "apt" if not specified.

update_directory

Location of the update folder relative to the Git repo root. Packages placed in this directory and committed will automatically be added to the repository and deleted from this folder when the action runs. Defaults to "updates" if not specified.

GPG private key (in ascii-armored format) for signing the APT repository. Use a repository secret.

key_passphrase

Passphrase of the above private key.

  workflow_dispatch:

# A workflow run is made up of one or more jobs that can run sequentially or in parallel
jobs:
  # This workflow contains a single job called "publish"
  publish:
    # The type of runner that the job will run on
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    # Steps represent a sequence of tasks that will be executed as part of the job
