GitHub Action plugin for fastlane

fastlane Plugin Badge Gem Version

About github_action

GitHub Actions makes it easy to build, test, and deploy your code right from GitHub. However, etting up fastlane to work with match on GitHub Actions can take bit of juggling and manual work 😔

But fastlane-plugin-github_action to the rescue 💪

This plugin will:

1. Prompt you if setup_ci is not found in your Fastfile

Running fastlane on a CI requires the environment to be setup properly. Calling the setup_ci action does that by configuring a new keychain that will be used for code signing with match

2. Create a Deploy Key on your match repository to be used from your GitHub Action

A Deploy Key is needed for GitHub Actions to access your match repository. This action creates a new SSH key and uses the public key for the Deploy Key on your match repository.

This will only get executed if the match_org and match_repo options are specified.

3. Set the Deploy Key private key in secrets (along with secrets in your dotenv file(s)

The private key created for the Deploy Key is store encrypted in your repository secrets. The private key is stored under the name MATCH_DEPLOY_KEY.

Encrypted secrets will also get set for environment variables from dotenv files specified by the dotenv_paths option.

4. Generate a Workflow YAML file to use

A Workflow YAML file is created at .github/workflows/fastlane.yml. This will enable your repository to start running GitHub Actions right away - once committed and pushed 😉. The Workflow YAML template will add the Deploy Key private key into the GitHub Action by loading it from the MATCH_DEPLOY_KEY secret and executing ssh-add. All of your other encrypted secrets will also be loaded into environment variables for you as well.

An example can be seen here.
