Enhance your repository mirroring process with this GitHub Action. It ensures that the references (refs) in your remote Git repositories are identical, preventing unnecessary clone-push cycles. Keep your mirrors up-to-date and synchronized efficiently.
This GitHub Action compares the references (refs) in two remote Git repositories to verify if they are equal. It helps you determine if a full clone-push cycle is necessary, ensuring your mirror remains up-to-date without unnecessary operations.
- Efficient Synchronization: Avoid unnecessary clone-push cycles.
- Detailed Comparison: Get detailed messages and type IDs for any differences found.
- User-Friendly: Easy to set up and use with clear input and output descriptions.
| Input Name | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
