Invalid status code: 128

[JoshQuaintance]

This one is similar to #58 but the user did not show a working solution but instead closing out of the blue. This one also involves the workflow to commit to a different repository.

Anyways, Here's the error generated:

And here is my workflow:

If anyone out there would be kind enough to help me :))...

Thanks in advance!!

What do you put in secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN? You need personal access token for cross-repository push.

[JoshQuaintance]

Ok, I made a personal token and refactor it, but now it gives me this error:

The workflow is still the same

[ad-m]

It looks like you need to push to a branch with no history continuity. If you just want to publish, you can try force: true.

[JoshQuaintance]

The push now works, but it pushed everything that is in the first repository... Is there a way to only push 1 file to the other repository. Here's my new workflow:

name: Update Readme

on:
  push:
    branches: [ master ]

jobs:
  update_readme:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@master
        with:
          persist-credentials: false
          fetch-depth: 0
      - uses: actions/setup-node@master
        with:
          node-version: 12

      - name: Clean Install Dependencies
        run: npm ci

      - name: Run Script (update-readme)
        run: npm run update-readme
        env:
          CI: true
          DISCORD_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.DISCORD_TOKEN }}
          MONGO_URI: ${{ secrets.MONGO_URI }}

      - name: Commit files
        run: |
          git config --local user.email "45566099+JoshuaPelealu@users.noreply.github.com"
          git config --local user.name "Joshua Pelealu"
          git add README.md
          git status
          git commit -m 'Auto Update README' README.md
      - name: Push changes
        uses: ad-m/github-push-action@master
        with:
          force: true
          repository: 'JoshuaPelealu/catalactics-bot-docs'
          github_token: ${{ secrets.ACCESS_TOKEN }}

[JoshQuaintance]

I figured out a way to do it

[JoshQuaintance]

All I need is to get the Repository target I want, and add it as a submodule. Then run my script. Then commit the files and push it. Here's my workflow now:

name: Update Readme

on:
  push:
    branches: [ master ]

jobs:
  update_readme:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@master
        with:
          persist-credentials: false
          fetch-depth: 0
      - uses: actions/setup-node@master
        with:
          node-version: 12

      - name: Clean Install Dependencies
        run: npm ci

      - name: Clone documentation repo
        run: git submodule add https://github.com/JoshuaPelealu/catalactics-bot-docs

      - name: Run Script (update-readme)
        run: npm run update-readme catalactics-bot-docs
        env:
          CI: true
          DISCORD_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.DISCORD_TOKEN }}
          MONGO_URI: ${{ secrets.MONGO_URI }}

      - name: Commit files
        run: |
          cd ./catalactics-bot-docs
          git config --local user.email "45566099+JoshuaPelealu@users.noreply.github.com"
          git config --local user.name "Joshua Pelealu"
          git add .
          git commit -am 'Auto Update README'
      - name: testing
        uses: './script.sh'
        with:
          test_message: "This is just a test"

      - name: Push changes
        uses: ad-m/github-push-action@master
        with:
          directory: 'catalactics-bot-docs'
          force: true
          repository: 'JoshuaPelealu/catalactics-bot-docs'
          github_token: ${{ secrets.ACCESS_TOKEN }}

you can just use git clone instead

on: [push]

jobs:
  build:
    name: Sphinx Pages
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      with:
        persist-credentials: false
        fetch-depth: 0
    - name: Clone documentation repo
      run: |
        git clone https://github.com/zhaoweiguo/demo2
        git config --local user.email "action@github.com"
        git config --local user.name "GitHub Action"
        cp file1.txt demo2/to
        echo hello >> to/artifact2/world.txt
        git add .
        git commit -m "Add changes" -a
    - run: git status
    - name: Push changes
      uses: ad-m/github-push-action@master
      with:
        github_token: ${{ secrets.ACCESS_TOKEN }}
        directory: demo2
        repository: 'zhaoweiguo/demo2'
