config-update

config-update GitHub Action

This GitHub Action writes values into the specified path in a structured config file, with as much effort as possible given to ensuring a clean diff.

Currently, this action is able to update values in:

• JSON files
• YAML files
• Build arg default values in Dockerfiles

In all cases, the path to update is given using the JSONPath syntax supported by jsonpath-ng.

See the action.yml for more information.

Usage

In the following example, two keys are updated in a config file from variables:

do_something:
  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
  steps:
    - name: Update config
      uses: azimuth-cloud/github-actions/config-update@master
      with:
        path: repo/path/to/config.json
        updates: |
          path.to.item1=${{ env.ITEM1 }}
          path.to.item2=${{ env.ITEM2 }}
