changed-in-duration

This GitHub action can be used to check if there have been any changes in code in last day or any other duration.

How it works

• Prior to this, code has been cloned and checked out to a specific tag/branch using actions/checkout.
• It checks the latest commit on HEAD and gets the time value from there as latest.
• It then calculates the time against which we want to check. This is calculated using against = current_time - duration. See examples for how to pass this duration.
• If against < latest, then status is set to true, otherwise false.
• It sets this status as changed output value, usable in your workflow.

Examples

To use this action in your project, use the following:

- name: Changed in duration
  id: changed-in-duration
  uses: vikramtiwari/changed-in-duration@main

The Action sets an output variable called changed which can be used in a following step by using ${{ steps.changed-in-duration.outputs.changed}}.

By default it checks for new commits in last 24 hours. You can customize this to pass any other duration.

- name: Changed in duration
  id: changed-in-duration
  uses: vikramtiwari/changed-in-duration@main
  with:
    duration: 3600 # 1 hour
