I'm working with the new Ruleset feature in Github and I'm running into an issue with the push action + custom token.
I have a Github App that I have granted access to the repo. In my Rule, I also allow this application to bypass rule prohibiting pushing to a particular branch. I'm using the github-app-token action to generate a token. Rules currently do not have a way to allow github-actions[bot] to bypass them (see this discussion for more info).
I am able to push a commit fine using the push action, but when I check the rule insights, it shows the commit as coming from github-actions[bot] instead of my custom app. Is it possible to use a Github App token in this action?
Example action:
jobs:
cherry-pick-commit:
runs-on: self-hosted
steps:
- name: Checkout code
uses: actions/checkout@v3
with:
fetch-depth: 0
- name: Generate Githup App Token
id: generate_token
uses: tibdex/github-app-token@v1
with:
app_id: ${{ secrets.APP_ID }}
installation_id: ${{ secrets.INSTALLATION_ID }}
private_key: ${{ secrets.APP_PRIVATE_KEY }}
- name: Define Branch Name
id: branch_name
run: echo "BRANCH=$(./bin/branch-name ${{ github.event.inputs.action }})" >> "$GITHUB_ENV"
- name: Setup Git User
run: |
# Extract commit information
AUTHOR_NAME=$(git show -s --format='%an' ${{ github.event.inputs.commit }})
AUTHOR_EMAIL=$(git show -s --format='%ae' ${{ github.event.inputs.commit }})
git config --local user.email "${AUTHOR_EMAIL}"
git config --local user.name "${AUTHOR_NAME}"
- name: Checkout Branch
run: git checkout ${{ env.BRANCH }}
- name: Cherry Pick
run: |
git cherry-pick -X theirs ${{ github.event.inputs.commit }}
- name: Push changes
uses: ad-m/github-push-action@v0.6.0
env:
TOKEN: ${{ steps.generate_token.outputs.token }}
with:
github_token: ${{ env.TOKEN }}
branch: ${{ env.BRANCH }}
Here's the insight showing that it came from github-actions[bot]
