Installation

pip install gha-tools

You can also use pipx to directly run gha-tools.

Usage

Automatically updating workflow action versions

Use gh-tools autoupdate on a workflow file or directory to automatically update the action versions to the latest available version.

By default, the command will not write changes to the file system; use --write to have it do that.
You can use --diff to see what changes would be made. This can be used in conjunction with --write.
You can use --version-strategy=specific to update to a specific latest version tag instead of the major tag, e.g. v1.2.3 instead of v1. The default is to use the major tag, when available.

$ gha-tools autoupdate --diff .github/workflows

GitHub Rate Limiting

Since this tool uses the GitHub API, you may run into rate limiting issues. You can specify your GitHub authentication via the environment variable GITHUB_TOKEN or GITHUB_AUTH.

If the value of the environment variable contains a colon (:), it will be interpreted as a username and password; this is useful with Personal Access Tokens, which are used with your GitHub username.
