GitHub Action Setup

It is possible to setup a GitHub action to automatically check for CLA signatures in a repository.

The following steps describe how to enable a "lite" version of the CLA Assistant and automatically exempt bots.

1. Add a GitHub Action workflow file at .github/workflows/cla.yml:

   name: "cla"
   
   on:
     issue_comment:
       types: [created]
     pull_request_target:
       types: [opened, closed, synchronize]
   
   permissions:
     actions: write
     contents: write
     pull-requests: write
     statuses: write
   
   jobs:
     cla:
       runs-on: ubuntu-latest
       steps:
         - name: "CLA Assistant"
           if: (github.event.comment.body == 'recheck' || github.event.comment.body == 'I have read the CLA Document and I hereby sign the CLA') || github.event_name == 'pull_request_target'
           uses: contributor-assistant/[email protected]
           env:
             GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
             PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN : ${{ secrets.ORG_TOKEN }}
           with:
             branch: 'cla-signatures'
             path-to-signatures: 'signatures/version1/cla.json'
             path-to-document: 'https://github.com/cowprotocol/cla/blob/main/CLA.md'
             allowlist: '*[bot]'

2. Create the branch cla-signatures where the signatures JSON will be updated:

   git switch -f --orphan cla-signatures
   git commit -m "CLA signatures" --allow-empty
   git push -u origin cla-signatures

3. Profit $$$

Troubleshoot

Error: Could not retrieve repository contents: Not Found. Status: 404

If this happened on a repository with no contributors, you can try to create an empty contributor file for the action to populate.

git checkout cla-signatures
mkdir -p signatures/version1/
echo $'{\n  "signedContributors": []\n}' > signatures/version1/cla.json

Then commit and push. This is an example PR where this workaround helped.
