Push to Pantheon GitHub Action 0.9.7 update is now available

Version 0.9.7 of the Push to Pantheon GitHub Action is now available. This release adds inputs that control what a new Multidev clones from its source environment, and makes the target_env input more forgiving about capitalization.

What's new

• Control what new Multidevs clone: Two new optional inputs, clone_files and clone_database, control what the action copies from source_env when it creates a Multidev. Both default to true, so existing workflows behave as before. Set either to false to skip that content (the action passes --no-files or --no-db to terminus multidev:create). This is useful when a Multidev only needs code, or when cloning a large database or files directory slows down every pull request. The inputs only apply when the action creates the Multidev. They have no effect on a Multidev that already exists. They also don't apply when the action deploys with Terminus Build Tools, which creates the Multidev itself. In that case the action logs a warning if either input is set to false. (#199)
• Uppercase target_env values are lowercased: Pantheon environment names must be lowercase. In 0.9.4 through 0.9.6, a target_env with uppercase letters failed the deployment with a message that the name was not a valid Pantheon environment. The action now lowercases the value and logs a message noting the change. Other naming problems, such as underscores, and reserved names like master, are still rejected. Branch names longer than 11 characters are still truncated to a maximum of 11 characters. (#200)

Example

This workflow step creates new Multidevs with code only, without copying the database or files from the source environment:
