GitHub composite action extension of actions/checkout action.

Tutorial to use with: https://github.com/andry81-devops/github-action-extensions

All tutorials: https://github.com/andry81/index#tutorials

gh-action--git-checkout@master

Features:

• Checks if a remote repository does exist and has a branch reference to delegate all input into https://github.com/actions/checkout action.

• Otherwise calls to mkdir + git init instead of call to the actions/checkout action script.

• Additionally can create working copy subdirectories after the call (mkdir-p extra parameter). Has a difference with a working copy subdirectory creation before the checkout, because the action/checkout action script does cleanup a working copy directory before the checkout.

USAGE

Example snippet:

steps:
  - uses: andry81-devops/gh-action--git-checkout@master

      path:       ...
      token:      ...

      mkdir-p: >-
        ...
