Feature Name

Github-Actions Monorepo splitter.

The Desired Behavior

It would be great if we could list these actions on the marketplace for better visibility.

@Tjitse-E was the original one to point this out, but the common pattern for actions is to put them in their own repo.

Luckily enough, since this is a git repo, doing sub-repo splits and tagging is actually quite easy.

I have an action that already does this:

name: "Publish Subtree"
author: "Graycore"
description: "A Github Action that publishes a subdirectory of a monorepo to another repo"

inputs:
  targetRepo:
    description: repository to sync the files to
    required: true
  sourceDir:
    description: sub-directory that will be the source of the repository
    required: true
  token:
    description: Github Token
    required: true
  syncBranch:
    default: sync-branch
    description: temporary branch that will be used for syncing
    required: false

runs:
  using: composite
  steps:
    # Add the target repository as a remote and fetch its branches
    - name: Add target repo and fetch branches
      run: |
        git remote add target https://oauth2:${{ inputs.token }}@${{ inputs.targetRepo }}
        git fetch target
      shell: bash
    # Sync the subdirectory using git subtree
    - name: Create subtree branch
      run: |
        git subtree split --prefix=${{ inputs.sourceDir }} -b ${{ inputs.syncBranch }}
      shell: bash
    # Push the changes to the target repository
    - name: Push changes to target repo
      run: |
        git push target ${{ inputs.syncBranch }}:main
      shell: bash
    # Create tag and push to target repo if triggered by tag event
    - name: Create tag
      if: github.ref_type == 'tag'
      shell: bash
      run: |
        git checkout ${{ inputs.syncBranch }}
        git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
        git config --global user.name "Beep Boop"
        git tag -a subtreetag -m ${{ github.ref_name }}
        git push target subtreetag:${{ github.ref_name }}

But I haven't published it anywhere public. Feel free to use it, I'm stating it as MIT-licensed.
