Comment on Ask HN: What are your favorite GitHub actions/bots?

Comments

I don't have a favorite, but a problem I'm facing now might be solved by an action. I want to trigger a build in a repo when another repo has finished the CI pipeline.

You can do it in two ways:

1. In the other repo, setup a webhook type of action event. And call it from the original repo

2. From the original repo, clone, change and push code in the other repo. Create an action event from push/pull-request/other.

On both cases you need a github token, either for accessing the other repo, or for calling the webhook.
