Bash script to search for workflow runs referencing deprecated workflow commands

github-actions-log-warning-checker

• In a list of repositories, run through recent¹ workflow runs to see if there are any set-output / save-state deprecated workflow command or deprecated Node.js 12 actions warnings in the logs
• The script outputs the results to a specified CSV file (e.g.: output.csv)
• In the output CSV, there is a column to denote whether the warning was found in the latest workflow run or not
• In the output CSV, there is a column to denote which warning it is referencing (deprecated workflow command or deprecated Node.js 12 action)

Usage

1. Run gh auth login to authenticate with GitHub CLI
2. Run ./generate-repos.sh <org> > repos.csv
   • Modify list as needed
   • Or create a list of repos in a csv file, <org/<repo>, 1 per line, with a trailing empty line at the end of the file
3. Run: ./github-actions-log-warning-checker.sh repos.csv output.csv
