Updating from v5 to v6

Behaviour changes

  • The default values for author and committer have changed. See "What's new" below for details. If you are overriding the default values you will not be affected by this change.
  • On completion, the action now removes the temporary git remote configuration it adds when using push-to-fork. This should not affect you unless you were using the temporary configuration for some other purpose after the action completes.

What's new

  • Updated runtime to Node.js 20
    • The action now requires a minimum version of v2.308.0 for the Actions runner. Update self-hosted runners to v2.308.0 or later to ensure compatibility.
  • The default value for author has been changed to ${{ github.actor }} <${{ github.actor_id }}+${{ github.actor }}@users.noreply.github.com>. The change adds the ${{ github.actor_id }}+ prefix to the email address to align with GitHub's standard format for the author email address.
  • The default value for committer has been changed to github-actions[bot] <41898282+github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>. This is to align with the default GitHub Actions bot user account.
  • Adds input git-token, the Personal Access Token (PAT) that the action will use for git operations. This input defaults to the value of token. Use this input if you would like the action to use a different token for git operations than the one used for the GitHub API.
  • push-to-fork now supports pushing to sibling repositories in the same network.
  • Previously, when using push-to-fork, the action did not remove temporary git remote configuration it adds during execution. This has been fixed and the configuration is now removed when the action completes.
  • If the pull request body is truncated due to exceeding the maximum length, the action will now suffix the body with the message "...[Pull request body truncated]" to indicate that the body has been truncated.
  • The action now uses --unshallow only when necessary, rather than as a default argument of git fetch. This should improve performance, particularly for large git repositories with extensive commit history.
  • The action can now be executed on one GitHub server and create pull requests on a different GitHub server. Server products include GitHub hosted (github.com), GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES), and GitHub Enterprise Cloud (GHEC). For example, the action can be executed on GitHub hosted and create pull requests on a GHES or GHEC instance.

Updating from v4 to v5

Behaviour changes

  • The action will no longer leave the local repository checked out on the pull request branch. Instead, it will leave the repository checked out on the branch or commit that it was when the action started.
  • When using add-paths, uncommitted changes will no longer be destroyed. They will be stashed and restored at the end of the action run.

What's new

  • Adds input body-path, the path to a file containing the pull request body.
  • At the end of the action run the local repository is now checked out on the branch or commit that it was when the action started.
  • Any uncommitted tracked or untracked changes are now stashed and restored at the end of the action run. Currently, this can only occur when using the add-paths input, which allows for changes to not be committed. Previously, any uncommitted changes would be destroyed.
  • The proxy implementation has been revised but is not expected to have any change in behaviour. It continues to support the standard environment variables http_proxy, https_proxy and no_proxy.
  • Now sets the git safe.directory configuration for the local repository path. The configuration is removed when the action completes. Fixes issue peter-evans#1170.
  • Now determines the git directory path using the git rev-parse --git-dir command. This allows users with custom repository configurations to use the action.
  • Improved handling of the team-reviewers input and associated errors.

Updating from v3 to v4

Behaviour changes

  • The add-paths input no longer accepts -A as a valid value. When committing all new and modified files the add-paths input should be omitted.

  • If using self-hosted runners or GitHub Enterprise Server, there are minimum requirements for v4 to run. See "What's new" below for details.

What's new

  • Updated runtime to Node.js 16
    • The action now requires a minimum version of v2.285.0 for the Actions Runner.
    • If using GitHub Enterprise Server, the action requires GHES 3.4 or later.

Updating from v2 to v3

Behaviour changes

  • The author input now defaults to the user who triggered the workflow run. This default is set via action.yml as ${{ github.actor }} <${{ github.actor }}@users.noreply.github.com>, where github.actor is the GitHub user account associated with the run. For example, peter-evans <peter-evans@users.noreply.github.com>.

    To continue to use the v2 default, set the author input as follows.

        - uses: peter-evans/create-pull-request@v3
      with:
        author: github-actions[bot] <41898282+github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

  • The author and committer inputs are no longer cross-used if only one is supplied. Additionally, when neither input is set, the author and committer are no longer determined from an existing identity set in git config. In both cases, the inputs will fall back to their default set in action.yml.

  • Deprecated inputs project and project-column have been removed in favour of an additional action step. See Create a project card for details.

  • Deprecated output pr_number has been removed in favour of pull-request-number.

  • Input request-to-parent has been removed in favour of push-to-fork. This greatly simplifies pushing the pull request branch to a fork of the parent repository. See Push pull request branches to a fork for details.

    e.g.

        - uses: actions/checkout@v2

    # Make changes to pull request here

    - uses: peter-evans/create-pull-request@v3
      with:
        token: ${{ secrets.MACHINE_USER_PAT }}
        push-to-fork: machine-user/fork-of-repository

What's new

  • The action has been converted to Typescript giving it a significant performance improvement.

  • If you run this action in a container, or on self-hosted runners, python and pip are no longer required dependencies. See Running in a container or on self-hosted runners for details.

  • Inputs labels, assignees, reviewers and team-reviewers can now be newline separated, or comma separated. e.g.

            labels: |
          chore
          dependencies
          automated

Updating from v1 to v2

Behaviour changes

  • v2 now expects repositories to be checked out with actions/checkout@v2

    To use actions/checkout@v1 the following step to checkout the branch is necessary.

        - uses: actions/checkout@v1
    - name: Checkout branch
      run: git checkout "${GITHUB_REF:11}"

  • The two branch naming strategies have been swapped. Fixed-branch naming strategy is now the default. i.e. branch-suffix: none is now the default and should be removed from configuration if set.

  • author-name, author-email, committer-name, committer-email have been removed in favour of author and committer. They can both be set in the format Display Name <email@address.com>

    If neither author or committer are set the action will default to making commits as the GitHub Actions bot user.

What's new

  • Unpushed commits made during the workflow before the action runs will now be considered as changes to be raised in the pull request. See Create your own commits for details.
  • New commits made to the pull request base will now be taken into account when pull requests are updated.
  • If an updated pull request no longer differs from its base it will automatically be closed and the pull request branch deleted.
