composite-workflow-trigger

Why?

I decided to make this workflow dispatcher because current workflow mechanics are flawed.

• workflow_run:
  • loses ref from the third nest on
  • maximum nesting of 4
• workflow_call:
  • does not really trigger the workflow separately:
    • no badges
    • sloppy summary

Requirements

bash and jq, jq is available by default in a lot of Linux runners

Installation

- name: composite-workflow-trigger        
  uses: toonvd/composite-workflow-trigger@v0.0.3

Usage

Please check the workflows.

Summary:

• the trigger needs the file to trigger, the ref and the GITHUB_TOKEN to work
