Reusable GitHub Actions Workflows

This repository contains a set of reusable workflows for GitHub Actions. These workflows are designed to automate various tasks such as deployments, PR checks, Azure object updates, and more across multiple repositories.

How to Use

To use these workflows, reference them in your GitHub Actions workflow file using the uses: directive. This directive should include the path to the reusable workflow in this repository, Andrews-McMeel-Universal/reusable_workflows/.github/workflows/, followed by the specific workflow name.

Workflow Examples

Codeowners File Validation

This workflow checks the validity of the CODEOWNERS file in your repository.

codeowners-validation:
  if: ${{ github.actor != 'dependabot[bot]' }}
  name: Codeowners File Validation
  uses: Andrews-McMeel-Universal/reusable_workflows/.github/workflows/codeowners-validation.yaml@2

Jira PR Linter

This workflow checks PRs for Jira ticket references and performs other compliance checks.

jira-lint:
  if: ${{ github.actor != 'dependabot[bot]' && github.actor != 'amutechtest' && github.ref != 'refs/heads/development' && github.ref != 'refs/heads/main' }}
  name: Jira PR Linter
  uses: Andrews-McMeel-Universal/reusable_workflows/.github/workflows/jira-lint.yaml@2
  with:
    fail-on-error: true
