Hi!
I've been using this action to copy repository code to a remote server, and I noticed that whether I set dotfiles: false or leave it out (because default is false), the scp is copying folders and files that start with .. My workaround is to remove the files in question before using the scp action.
Here is the step I'm using to perform the transfer:
- name: Copy sources to Instance
uses: garygrossgarten/github-action-scp@v0.7.3
with:
host: ${{ steps.set-ssh-info.outputs.host }}
port: ${{ steps.set-ssh-info.outputs.port }}
username: ${{ secrets.SSH_USERNAME }}
privateKey: ${{ secrets.SSH_PRIVATE_KEY }}
local: my-dir
remote: my-dir
Without putting the whole execution log, the very first thing it does is transfer a dotfile:
Starting scp Action: my-dir to my-dir
✔ successfully copied my-dir/.gitignore.
