Effortlessly track all changed files and directories relative to a target branch, the current branch (preceding commit or the last remote commit), multiple branches, or custom commits returning **relative paths** from the project root using this GitHub action.

## Features 🚀
2023-07-11 03:39:12 +00:00
* Fast execution, averaging 0-10 seconds.
* Leverages either [Github's REST API](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/repos#list-commits) or [Git's native diff](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-diff) to determine changed files.
* Facilitates easy debugging.
2023-12-10 07:28:33 +00:00
* Scales to handle large/mono repositories.
* Supports Git submodules.
2023-08-08 16:15:34 +00:00
* Supports [merge queues](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/configuring-pull-request-merges/managing-a-merge-queue) for pull requests.
* Generates escaped [JSON output for running matrix jobs](https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files/blob/main/.github/workflows/matrix-example.yml) based on changed files.
* Lists changed directories.
2023-07-11 03:40:47 +00:00
* Limits matching changed directories to a specified maximum depth.
* Optionally excludes the current directory.
* Writes outputs to a designated `.txt` or `.json` file for further processing.
* Restores deleted files to their previous location or a newly specified location.
2023-12-10 07:28:33 +00:00
* Supports fetching a fixed number of commits which improves performance.
* Compatible with all platforms (Linux, MacOS, Windows).
* Supports [GitHub-hosted runners](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-github-hosted-runners/about-github-hosted-runners).
* Supports [GitHub Enterprise Server](https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-server@3.3/admin/github-actions/getting-started-with-github-actions-for-your-enterprise/getting-started-with-github-actions-for-github-enterprise-server).
* Supports [self-hosted runners](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/about-self-hosted-runners).
* Lists all files and directories that have changed:
* Between the current pull request branch and the last commit on the target branch.
* Between the last commit and the current pushed change.
* Between the last remote branch commit and the current HEAD.
* Restricts change detection to a subset of files and directories:
* Provides boolean output indicating changes in specific files.
2023-08-03 19:24:56 +00:00
* Uses [Glob pattern](https://codepen.io/mrmlnc/pen/OXQjMe) matching.
* Supports Globstar.
* Supports brace expansion.
* Supports negation.
* Uses [YAML](https://yaml.org/) syntax for specifying patterns.
2023-09-14 17:38:21 +00:00
* Supports [YAML anchors & aliases](https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files/blob/main/test/changed-files.yml#L8-L12).
* Supports [YAML multi-line strings](https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files/blob/main/test/changed-files.yml#L13-L16).

## Usage 💻
2021-05-04 17:53:26 +00:00
> \[!IMPORTANT]
2023-07-25 23:05:08 +00:00
>
2023-10-27 04:34:26 +00:00
> * **Push Events**: When configuring [`actions/checkout`](https://github.com/actions/checkout#usage), make sure to set [`fetch-depth`](https://github.com/actions/checkout#usage) to either `0` or `2`, depending on your use case.
2023-10-27 04:36:00 +00:00
> * **Mono Repositories**: To avoid pulling the entire branch history, you can utilize the default [`actions/checkout`](https://github.com/actions/checkout#usage)'s [`fetch-depth`](https://github.com/actions/checkout#usage) of `1` for [`pull_request`](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/events-that-trigger-workflows#pull_request) events.
2023-10-27 17:24:18 +00:00
> * **Quoting Multiline Inputs**: Avoid using single or double quotes for [multiline](https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files/blob/main/test/changed-files.yml#L13-L16) inputs. The value is already a string separated by a newline character. Refer to the [Examples](#examples-) section for more information.
2023-10-27 04:34:26 +00:00
> * **Credentials Persistence**: If [`fetch-depth`](https://github.com/actions/checkout#usage) is not set to 0, make sure to set [`persist-credentials`](https://github.com/actions/checkout#usage) to `true` when configuring [`actions/checkout`](https://github.com/actions/checkout#usage).
> * **Matching Files and Folders**: To match all files and folders under a directory, this requires a globstar pattern e.g. `dir_name/**` which matches any number of subdirectories and files.

## Migration guide 🔄
2022-12-12 23:20:59 +00:00
With the switch from using grep's Extended regex to match files to the natively supported workflow glob pattern matching syntax introduced in [v13](https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files/releases/tag/v13) you'll need to modify patterns used to match `files`.
