Private Action Loader

This action loads and executes a private Action. This allows private actions to be reused in other private repositories. All inputs are passed down into the private action. All outputs of the private actions are passed back to the loader action.

Inputs

pal-repo-token

Required An access token with the repo scope to the repository containing the action. This should be stored as a repo secret.

pal-repo-name

Required The repository containing the action. A ref can also be appended to specify an exact commit of the action (SHA, tag, or branch). Must be in the format of {owner}/{repo} or {owner}/{repo}@{sha}.

pal-action-directory

Optional Directory containing the action.yml that you would like to execute in repo. If omitted, the root directory is assumed to be the location of action.yml.
