Make mithro/actions-includes@main work with private workflows

[piotrlis]

Executing a check at the beginning of generated workflow doesn't work with private workflows.

Would it be possible to either support private repositories or add possibility to turn off this step?

[mithro]

Two thoughts;

• Would be happy for someone to add an option to turn off the "up to date" check.
• I think you could potentially use the GITHUB_TOKEN to get access to the resources?

Thanks for quick answer.

I think setting up GITHUB_TOKEN doesn't help in this case, the script that compares generated workflow with the template uses https://raw.githubusercontent.com and doesn't pass the token: https://github.com/mithro/actions-includes/blob/main/actions_includes/check.py#L37

mithro/actions-includes

Allows including an action inside another action (by preprocessing the Yaml file). This is how composite actions should have worked. - mithro/actions-includes

@piotrlis - We could make it pass the token if it is found.
