This repository contains a GitHub action that simplifies the usage of the xrefcheck tool.

By default this action installs the latest version of xrefcheck (it downloads a static binary from GitHub releases) and runs it with no arguments.

Please refer to action.yml for a full list of inputs. Quick overview:

• xrefcheck-version lets you pick a specific version.
• xrefcheck-args lets you pass custom arguments.
• action can be set to install if just want to install the tool and then use it manually. This functionality is experimental and maybe be reworked later.

xrefcheck-path output will contain a relative path to the xrefcheck executable. In a future version it may contain an absolute path.

To run xrefcheck-0.3.1 on your repository in the local-only mode:

jobs:
  xrefcheck:
    name: Check references
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v4
    - uses: serokell/xrefcheck-action@v1
      with:
        xrefcheck-version: 0.3.1
        xrefcheck-args: --mode local-only

• 0.1.2
• 0.1.3
• 0.2
• 0.2.1
• 0.2.2: requires xrefcheck-action v1.0.3 or greater
• 0.3.0: requires xrefcheck-action v1.0.3 or greater
• 0.3.1: requires xrefcheck-action v1.0.3 or greater

When a new xrefcheck version is released and you want it to be supported by this action, do the following:

1. Add one more check to CI.
2. Update the list of supported versions above. Optional: update the above example to use the latest version.
3. If necessary (e. g. if xrefcheck is distributed differently), update implementation of this action. If you do it, a new version of this action should be created, which means that a new tag should be pushed. If there is more than one tag referring to some version, such as v1 and v1.0.1, some tag may have to force-pushed.
