Repository navigation
metadata actions supports context git, but seems to assume checkout action doesn't use path input. #616
Description
Activity
Ran into the same issue. You can work around it by setting
GIT_DIRandGIT_WORK_TREEin the step's environment:- name: Docker meta id: meta uses: docker/metadata-action@v5 with: context: git images: … tags: | … env: GIT_DIR: target/.git GIT_WORK_TREE: target
where
targetis the directory of your checked out repo relative to$GITHUB_WORKSPACE
Description
If we use the checkout action with the path input to set a "Relative path under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE to place the repository", and subsequently use the metadata action with the context git, then the
metadata action fails with:
Note that the build-push action supports a Path context with the context input, and has a build-contexts input to list additional build contexts.
Note that the checkout action supports side by side checkout https://github.com/actions/checkout?tab=readme-ov-file#checkout-multiple-repos-side-by-side.
It would be useful to be able to tell the metadata action where the .git directory was. It seems the metadata action assumes context "git" => GITHUB_WORKSPACE.
