v1.4.1: Minor bugfix

Changelog

• Fix an error preventing repositories from being updated due to a check that was misconfigured.

v1.4.0: Various improvements

Changelog

• Committing when updating repositories is done by the script automatically (with the desired commit message).
• New parameter, commit_message_update: The commit message used when updating the repositories.
• New feature mentioned in the README.md, is the option to let you choose the desired branch when cloning a new repository, unlike Git Submodules which automatically chooses the default branch.

v1.3.1: Bash bugfix

Changelog

• Fix missing fi in a Bash script.

v1.3.0: Bugfixes

Changelog

• The check-variables.lua script was missing at the time of either updating or adding the given repositories, which prevented the workflow from working in any project that does not have the source code. This has been fully fixed.
• Sometimes, it was necessary to pull the repos.lua file from the original branch, as the PR branch might be outdated. The workflow wasn't able to update the necessary file due to a wrong command. This should be fixed.

v1.2.0 - Workflow bugfixes

Changelog

• The action couldn't run on external repositories due to the lack of the fetch-repos and update-repos scripts. This has now been fixed, and the script automatically fetches the scripts to work on your repository without pushing them to your project.
• Previously, if both update_repos and add_repos options is enabled, the script could not work properly. This has been fixed.
• The squash commits option has been tweaked and fixed. This option applies only to add_repos for now. Please note that the feature is still experimental and is recommended to use only on PRs.
• A few other minor bugfixes and cleanup.

v1.1.0 - Branches improved

Changelog

• Update to-do list.
• Improve branch detection.
  • The script will attempt to find the default branch for the given repository. Currently supports GitHub, GitLab, and BitBucket only!
  • The default/desired branch can be manually specified. This is very useful if the VCS does not have an API or is unsupported.
  • If the default/desired branch is specified, the script won't attempt to find a branch, regardless of the VCS.

We'll keep working on new releases to make bugfixes and implement new features! 🙂
