Step 1: Setting up runners
GitHub enterprise needs “self-hosted” runners to support action system calls if needed. For our actions, we need to host a Linux VM that we listen to for the jobs. To do so we need to follow these steps
Go to settings -> Runners
Click on add runner and follow the setups to connect your Linux VM with Github
We use these above commands in our vm like:
Note: Make sure you mkdir the same as the repo name on your GitHub. For example, here we made “ObjcTest” which is the repo name
Check runner if connection “Idle” is available
Step:2 Adding Repo secrets
To add secrets (API-KEY). Settings -> Secrets -> New Repository Secrets
For our use case we will name the secret as API_KEY
Step 3: Adding our actions.yml
Now add our action.yml. In order to do that, make a folder structure like .github -> workflows -> action.yml, On the repo
\
Make sure that at line 18 of action.yml we have the same APP_NAME as that of the repo name
Commit and see the action run
Once the action is done. Check our UI for the results
