# Checkout V2
This action checks-out your repository under `$GITHUB_WORKSPACE`, so your workflow can access it.
Only a single commit is fetched by default, for the ref/SHA that triggered the workflow. Set `fetch-depth` to fetch more history. Refer [here](https://help.github.com/en/articles/events-that-trigger-workflows) to learn which commit `$GITHUB_SHA` points to for different events.
The auth token is persisted in the local git config. This enables your scripts to run authenticated git commands. The token is removed during post-job cleanup. Set `persist-credentials: false` to opt-out.
When Git 2.18 or higher is not in your PATH, falls back to the REST API to download the files.
# What's new
- Improved performance
- Fetches only a single commit by default
- Script authenticated git commands
- Auth token persisted in the local git config
- Creates a local branch
- No longer detached HEAD when checking out a branch
- Improved layout
- The input `path` is always relative to $GITHUB_WORKSPACE
- Aligns better with container actions, where $GITHUB_WORKSPACE gets mapped in
- Fallback to REST API download
- When Git 2.18 or higher is not in the PATH, the REST API will be used to download the files
- When using a job container, the container's PATH is used
- Removed input `submodules`
Refer [here](https://github.com/actions/checkout/blob/v1/README.md) for previous versions.
# Usage
<!-- start usage -->
```yaml
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
# Repository name with owner. For example, actions/checkout
# Default: ${{ github.repository }}
repository: ''
# The branch, tag or SHA to checkout. When checking out the repository that
# triggered a workflow, this defaults to the reference or SHA for that event.
# Otherwise, defaults to `master`.
ref: ''
# Auth token used to fetch the repository. The token is stored in the local git
# config, which enables your scripts to run authenticated git commands. The
# post-job step removes the token from the git config. [Learn more about creating
# and using encrypted secrets](https://help.github.com/en/actions/automating-your-workflow-with-github-actions/creating-and-using-encrypted-secrets)
# Default: ${{ github.token }}
token: ''
# Whether to persist the token in the git config
# Default: true
persist-credentials: ''
# Relative path under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE to place the repository
path: ''
# Whether to execute `git clean -ffdx && git reset --hard HEAD` before fetching
# Default: true
clean: ''
# Number of commits to fetch. 0 indicates all history.
# Default: 1
fetch-depth: ''
# Whether to download Git-LFS files
# Default: false
lfs: ''
```

## Checkout a different branch
```yaml
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
ref: my-branch
```
## Checkout HEAD^
```yaml
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
fetch-depth: 2
- run: git checkout HEAD^
```
## Checkout multiple repos (side by side)
```yaml
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
path: main
- name: Checkout tools repo
uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
repository: my-org/my-tools
path: my-tools
```
## Checkout multiple repos (nested)
```yaml
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Checkout tools repo
uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
repository: my-org/my-tools
path: my-tools
```
## Checkout multiple repos (private)
```yaml
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
path: main
- name: Checkout private tools
uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
repository: my-org/my-private-tools
token: ${{ secrets.GitHub_PAT }} # `GitHub_PAT` is a secret that contains your PAT
path: my-tools
```
> - `${{ github.token }}` is scoped to the current repository, so if you want to checkout a different repository that is private you will need to provide your own [PAT](https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line).
## Checkout pull request HEAD commit instead of merge commit
```yaml
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }}
```
## Checkout pull request on closed event
```yaml
on:
pull_request:
branches: [master]
types: [opened, synchronize, closed]
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
```
## Checkout submodules
```yaml
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Checkout submodules
shell: bash
run: |
auth_header="$(git config --local --get http.https://github.com/.extraheader)"
git submodule sync --recursive
git -c "http.extraheader=$auth_header" -c protocol.version=2 submodule update --init --force --recursive --depth=1
```
## Checkout private submodules
```yaml
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
token: ${{ secrets.MY_GITHUB_PAT }}
- name: Checkout submodules
shell: bash
run: |
auth_header="$(git config --local --get http.https://github.com/.extraheader)"
git submodule sync --recursive
git -c "http.extraheader=$auth_header" -c protocol.version=2 submodule update --init --force --recursive --depth=1
```
## Fetch all tags
```yaml
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- run: git fetch --depth=1 origin +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*
```
## Fetch all branches
```yaml
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- run: |
git fetch --no-tags --prune --depth=1 origin +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
```
## Fetch all history for all tags and branches
```yaml
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- run: |
git fetch --prune --unshallow
```
