[aairey]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Describe the bug

When there is no .templatesyncignore file present in the child repository yet, but one was added in the template - the template-sync action fails with:

Expected Behavior

Store the .templatesyncignore file from upstream. Ignore errors while restoring the file as it could not be present.

Current Behavior

The action fails with:

restore ignore file
  ::info::restore the ignore file
  ++ git checkout -- .templatesyncignore
  error: pathspec '.templatesyncignore' did not match any file(s) known to git

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create template repo with just a README.md and add template-sync workflow
2. Create a repo from this template
3. Add .templatesyncignore in the template
4. Sync child repo with template

Possible Solution

Ignore errors during file restore.

Additional Information/Context

Was introduced with #250 and #251 .

Template sync version Version

Hi @aairey and thank you very much for the 🐛 issue and the nice description with example.
Was able to reproduce the issue with a local test and reading the code logic it is obvious that e.g. git reset -- .templatesyncignore is not working if the file is not present in the history but with your case you hit the if condition.

Will provide a fix ASAP (maybe the next days).
