Composer / Get Root Version

This action determines the Composer root version based on the specified branch and exports it as COMPOSER_ROOT_VERSION environment variable. It's designed to be flexible, allowing you to specify both the branch and the working directory for the Composer command to determine the root version.

Example Usage

Create a new workflow file, for example, .github/workflows/integrate.yml, and add the following code to it.

---

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master
  pull_request:

name: 🔍 Continuous integration

jobs:
  integrate:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: 📦 Check out the codebase
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      # ...

      - name: 🎯 Get Composer Root Version
        uses: wayofdev/gh-actions/actions/composer/get-root-version@master
        with:
          branch: master
          working-directory: '.'

      # ...

...

For details, see actions/composer/get-root-version/action.yml.

Real-world examples can be found in the wayofdev/laravel-package-tpl repository.

      }
    }
