# File: .github/workflows/repo-sync.yml

runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: repo-sync

env:
SOURCE_REPO: ""
SOURCE_BRANCH: ""
DESTINATION_REPO: ""
DESTINATION_BRANCH: ""
SSH_PRIVATE_KEY: ${{ secrets.SSH_PRIVATE_KEY }}
with:
args: $SOURCE_REPO $SOURCE_BRANCH $DESTINATION_REPO $DESTINATION_BRANCH
SSH_PRIVATE_KEY can be omitted if using authenticated HTTPS repo clone urls like https://username:access_token@github.com/username/repository.git.
To Sync all branches from source to destination, use SOURCE_BRANCH: "refs/remotes/source/*" and DESTINATION_BRANCH: "refs/heads/*". But be careful, branches with the same name including master will be overwritten.
docker run --rm -e "SSH_PRIVATE_KEY=$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa)" $(docker build -q .) \
