Apache Release Audit Tool (Rat) is a release audit tool, focused on licenses.
The goal of this GitHub Action is to allow Apache projects to run the release audit tool with in their GitHub Action workflow (CI).
This would allow projects to quickly detect if new files during a PR submission or commit push was missing the license header.
In your project repo, create a new GitHub Action workflow.
E.g. Directory Structure & Files
.
├── .github
│ └── workflows
│ └── action.yml
├── .ratignore
In the .github/workflows/action.yml file, write:
name: Release Auditing
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
test:
name: Check License Headers
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: erisu/apache-rat-action@v1This action workflow will checkout the project's content and run the RAT tool.
Create the optional .ratignore file if you want to exclude certain files and folders from being tested.
