GitHub Action
fmtya
v1.1.2
GitHub Action to run yamlfmt
The following is a reasonable, bare-minimum, setup. It runs fmtya
with all the
settings set to their default values. This will run yamlfmt
on the repository
and if any yaml files are reformatted, it will commit them back to the branch
that was pushed.
Note that if the default token is used, GitHub Action workflow files cannot be formatted. This is due to a limitation in GitHub's permissions system. See the advanced setup example to see how to format workflow files.

push:

runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: norwd/fmtya@v1
with:
exclude-files: '.github/workflows/*.{yaml,yml}'
A more advanced setup can customise everything from the commit's message down to
the specific version of the yamlfmt
backend! The configuration options fmtya
uses are loosely based on the .yamlfmt
file format.

// Due to how GitHub's permissions system is set up, the default token
// does not have the necessary access to update workflow files. If you

// By default, `fmtya` uses the latest available version of `yamlfmt`.
// This may result changes to the behaviour of `fmtya`, for example if

// If there are files in your repo that follow a different convention,

commit-message: Reformat .yml files with yamlfmt

// their GitHub account settings. You can enable signed commits with a
// GPG private key stored in a secret, just be sure that the email set
// in the GPG key matches the email you set in `commit-user-email`!
