Monorepo Split GitHub Action 2.0 with Gitlab split is Out!

I have 3 news today that make Monorepo Split more accessible to private packages.

1. Private Repositories Support

Monorepo split was built on open-source principles and thus used only for public repositories on GitHub. As time went by, this GitHub Action got into private repositories.

Do you have a private monorepo repository on GitHub? Monorepo Split 2.0 now supports it!

2. Split to Private Gitlab Repository

GitHub Action can be used only on GitHub, obviously, but the target repository should not matter. Version 1.x had some troubles with splitting without the correct token. In version 2.0, we've added support for Gitlab as target repositories.

How to enable it? Just add the GITLAB_TOKEN env variable to your workflow YAML file:

env:
    GITLAB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITLAB_TOKEN }}

The token must include read_repository + write_repository rights. Where can you create such a token? Here https://gitlab.com/profile/personal_access_tokens.

Now you can build monorepo on GitHub and split it into repositories on Gitlab.

3. Split to custom Git Hosting

Do you use GitLab? If so, there is a big chance you host it on your server because the saas is getting more and more expensive.

That means your target hosting is not github.com, neither gitlab.com. That's why we've added a new parameter to set the host:

with:
    split-repository-host: git.private.com:1234

Upgrade Today

That's 3 news for today. Try it and upgrade your workflows:

-                uses: symplify/[email protected]
+                uses: symplify/github-action-monorepo-spli[email protected]

Happy coding!
