GitHub Action "New TODOs"

Parses between two given git revisions for TODOs (or any other label) that were added or modified in the diff.

To be used as a check for pull requests. The idea is that this check does not trigger on already existing TODOs but only those that are newly added.

Inputs

label

The label that is searched for. Default: TODO.

base_ref

The base commit used for the diff. Default: origin/master.

head_ref

The head commit used for the diff. Default: HEAD.

Example usage

Example workflow checking for "FIXME" in pull requests.

on: pull_request

jobs:
  fixmes:
    name: FIXME check
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
    - name: Check for FIXMEs
      uses: luator/github_action_check_new_todos@v2
      with:
          label: FIXME
          base_ref: origin/${{ github.base_ref }}
