GitHub Action: Download last artifact

Downloads the last created artifact by name, regardless of which workflow or branch it was created in.

What is it for? For example:

• You put artifacts in the base branch, and use it in Pull Requests
• Or create artifacts during a release with a tag name in the artifact name. Then from the next runs you can download the artifact by name.

Example usage

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2

- name: Download last artifact
  uses: blablacar/action-download-last-artifact@master
  with:
    name: my-artifact

- name: Display structure of downloaded files
  run: ls -R

Inputs

name

Required Artifact name.

path

Optional. Destination path. By default, the artifact is stored in the current directory.

token

Personal access token (PAT) used to fetch the repository. The PAT is configured with the local git config, which enables your scripts to run authenticated git commands. The post-job step removes the PAT.

We recommend using a service account with the least permissions necessary. Also when generating a new PAT, select the least scopes necessary.
