GitHub Actions Part 2 - main.workflow (August 2, 2019)

Have you read my first post about GitHub Actions?
You may want to read that first before reading this page ;)
Here it is: GitHub Actions Part 1 - Introduction (August 1, 2019)

Before we continue, I forgot to mention in the previous post that by the time I write this page,
GitHub Actions is still in Beta stage. You can sign up for the beta program: https://github.com/features/actions/signup/.
I signed up for my personal account around 1 month ago, but have not got any response yet.

Fortunately, my organization account has this feature enabled!
So I can play around with it and share to you through this post..

So let’s continue!

I was playing around with GitHub Actions to automatically add newly created Issue and Pull Request to a GitHub Project board. To define the workflow, you can create a main.workflow file inside .github directory. The directory is in the root.

Here is how the file looks like:

workflow "Add new pull requests to projects" {
  resolves = ["adding the pull request to a project"]
  on = "pull_request"
}

action "adding the pull request to a project" {
  uses = "alex-page/add-new-pulls-project@v0.0.4"
  args = ["Curated Terraform Modules", "In progress"]
  secrets = ["GITHUB_TOKEN", "GH_PAT"]
}

workflow "Add new issues to projects" {
  resolves = ["adding the issue to a project"]
  on = "issues"
}

action "adding the issue to a project" {
  uses = "alex-page/add-new-issue-project@v0.0.4"
  args = ["Curated Terraform Modules", "To do"]
  secrets = ["GITHUB_TOKEN", "GH_PAT"]
}

If you notice, there are 2 workflows defined there. Also one action for each workflow.
