Getting started

GitHub Actions Importer is distributed as a Docker container and this extension to the official GitHub CLI to interact with the Docker container.

Prerequisites

The following requirements must be met to be able to use the GitHub Actions Importer:

• The Docker CLI must be installed and running.
• The official GitHub CLI must be installed.
• You must have credentials to authenticate with the GitHub Container Registry.

Installation

Next, the GitHub Actions Importer CLI extension can be installed via this command:

Configuration

New versions of the GitHub Actions Importer are released on a regular basis. To ensure you're up to date, run the following command:

In order for GitHub Actions Importer to communicate with your current CI/CD server and GitHub, various credentials must be available for the command. These can be configured using environment variables or a .env.local file. These environment variables can be configured in an interactive prompt by running the following command:

$ gh actions-importer configure
? Enter value for 'GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN' (leave empty to skip):
...

You can find detailed information about using environment variables in the platform-specific documentation.

Using a custom Docker registry

We highly recommend using the official GitHub Container Registry to pull the GitHub Actions Importer Docker image. However, if you need to use a custom Docker registry, you can configure GitHub Actions Importer to use a custom Docker registry by setting the CONTAINER_REGISTRY environment variable in your .env.local file.

# .env.local
CONTAINER_REGISTRY=my-custom-registry.com
