Create Reusable GitHub Actions Templates with Composite Actions v2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2024
- In this video I'm going to show you how to create reusable GitHub Actions templates using the GitHub Composite Actions, which now support also referencing other actions.
You read it right, previously, actions written in YAML could only use scripts. Now, they can also reference other actions. This makes it easy to reduce duplication in your workflows.

Thank you this was very helpful!! much appreciate your effort. Keep up the amazing work.
Thanks for the feedback ☺️ and always happy to be helpful ☺️
Hello, is possible to use a python script located in the composite repository? What I'm trying to do is to create a composite template that will run some python logic, but the python file is in the composite repo
hey Dave! thanks for providing such helpful tips. I do have a question though, in minute 7:17 you are calling the composite action and you are passing the required arguments which are stored in secrets within Github but, how would you pass variables from another composite action into another one? for example let's say my username and password are stored in Hashi Corp Vault and I need to extract them from there and then pass them into the composite action "Build and Push Image"?? :) thanks
Hey there. I think the best way is having an output parameter for the composite action, and use that as input parameter for the second one (in the caller workflow)
When putting your actions within another repo did you have to set up any additional permissions
Using Org repos
For public repos no, but if the repo is internal you need to setup the access to the repo in the settings to allow other repos to “use” the action from there
thanks for the question and thanks for the answer.
Hi, you know if composite is available for organizations private repos with a paid account?
Hey. Composite actions are available for every kind of account. But currently the limitation is that your composite action has to be hosted in a public repo. If you look at the roadmap, however, soon you’ll be able to host them in internal repos as well
@@CoderDave This is incredibly annoying and, from what I can tell, completely undocumented.
The Composite Actions from Internal repos feature is now available (since few months ago). But of course internal repos are available only on GitHub Enterprise so… 😕
It’s “indirectly documented”… in the official docs they say “create a new public repository “ so I guess technically it’s there, but it’s not clear that is a limitation
