Example usage

This example runs the login action, activates a namespace, and triggers the Okteto pipeline and deletes it

# File: .github/workflows/workflow.yml
on: 
  pull_request: 
    types:
      - closed

name: example

jobs:
  devflow:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: checkout
      uses: actions/checkout@master    

    - name: Context
      uses: okteto/context@latest
      with:
        url: https://okteto.example.com
        token: ${{ secrets.OKTETO_TOKEN }}

    - name: "Activate Namespace"
      uses: okteto/namespace@latest
      with:
        name: cindylopez
    
    - name: "Trigger the pipeline"
      uses: okteto/pipeline@latest
      with:
        name: pr-${{ github.event.number }}
    
    - name: "Destroy the pipeline"
      uses: okteto/destroy-pipeline@latest
      with:
        name: pr-${{ github.event.number }}

Advanced usage

Custom Certification Authorities or Self-signed certificates

You can specify a custom certificate authority or a self-signed certificate by setting the OKTETO_CA_CERT environment variable. When this variable is set, the action will install the certificate in the container, and then execute the action.

Use this option if you're using a private Certificate Authority or a self-signed certificate in your Okteto SH instance. We recommend that you store the certificate as an encrypted secret, and that you define the environment variable for the entire job, instead of doing it on every step.
