The hooks for post-checkout and post-merge both look like this: hooks/post-checkout.sample) because any git commands that are going to break links need to re-establish them. We include git hooks samples in our template repository (e.g.

Until GitHub Free and Team plans support private templates, you can migrate, but this is one possible solution we have tried and tested. Without the native ability to include private templates in our workflows and us wanting to have a single repo storing our workflow templates, we opted for this simple solution that optimizes the ease of applying template updates. GitHub Actions templates: An acceptable workaround for non-Enterprise plans Since we want to be able to git pull for updates to the templates, we would need to find something that could automatically apply changes from the template repo to an app’s file. $DIR/workflows/go/build_and_push.yml $DIR/my-app/.github/workflows/build_and_push.yml works to keep our workflow template in sync with our app… until we run a git command that modifies the template (git changes the inodes of files it modifies). So we tried to link our template to our app’s workflow. Some people use symlinks to include parts of a repo in another repo instead of submodules. We opted to not go with submodules because we want one workflow repo to hold Go and Python (among others) templates, but I gleaned some valuable information from that train of thought. Git treats a repo as the smallest unit in submodule management, so our solution will either have a repo with only relevant workflows or avoid using submodules altogether. Could we include our workflow templates as a submodule in our repo and use git’s submodule management to keep the templates up to date? We could, but not if we wanted to have templates irrelevant to some repos in the template repo. After all, it allows a repo to include another repo. I thought that maybe git submodules would be a possible solution. I scoured the Stack Overflow posts and dug through GitHub Issues comment threads, but found no good workarounds for the missing ability to include workflows from other private repos in the same organization.
I’m not sure when (or if) this functionality will be available to everyone, but it seems like a core bit of functionality to support private reuse of workflows. These issues had been open for almost 18 months and it just recently got added for those on Enterprise plans. In Gitlab CI, one can use authentication to import a private repo’s jobs, stages, variables, etc., using the includes directive.Īt the time of writing this, GitHub Actions had issues ( make it two) tracking this desired functionality of private repos. GitHub Actions and GitLab CI both support reusing steps from one repository in another, but GitHub Actions Free and Team plans require the steps you want included to be publicly accessible.
For example, including a set of steps from one project in another is much different. My prior experience with GitLab CI made for a shorter learning curve with GitHub Actions, but the finer details proved to differ.

We don’t know if or when GitHub will roll out this update to other plans, so in the meantime, here’s what we went through and how we solved it. But for those of you on GitHub’s Free or Team plans, the issue still persists. Luckily, GitHub recently released an update that now supports this functionality on its Enterprise plans. I say this because until very recently, workflow templates in private repositories were not supported, so we had to use a workaround.

Full disclosure: Sometimes batteries are not included – unless you're a GitHub Enterprise customer that is… It’s for these reasons that we are currently undergoing a migration from our Jenkins-based CI/CD to GitHub Actions CI/CD. For a while now, the dev team at Mailgun by Sinch has known some of the tools and technologies we set this up with have a shrinking community and risk becoming too niche to reasonably maintain. GitHub Actions is the new kid on the CI/CD block, but it’s quickly outgunning traditional open source automation servers.
