Action for zipping files and folders easily
The only requirement is to use the official actions/checkout@v2 first so the zip action has access to the repo files.
name: Zip Files
on:
release:
types: [published]
jobs:
zip-files:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: vimtor/[email protected]
with:
files: dist/ manifest.json
dest: result.zipIn this example, after a release is published, a new file named result.zip will be created with both the file manifest.json and the folder dist (files included).
Files or directories to zip, relative to GITHUB_WORKSPACE environmental variable.
- Required: Yes
Name of the output zip file.
- Required: No
- Default: result.zip
Whether to add subdirectories to simply zip all files to the root.
- Required: No
- Default: true
If for example, you do the following:
- uses: vimtor/[email protected]
with:
files: dist/ manifest.json
recursive: false
dest: result.zipThe folder dist is included with along with its files. By contrast, if recurise: true (by default) All the files inside the dist folder will be added at the root of the zip along with manifest.json
Also if you want a nested file at the root, recursive: true is your guy.
If you want to check that the output is the desired one I recommend you to add the following step after zipping. You will be able to download the result.zip file.
- uses: actions/[email protected]
with:
name: my-artifact
path: ${{ github.workspace }}/result.zip
