# Checkout
This action checks out your repository to `$GITHUB_WORKSPACE`, so that your workflow can access the contents of your repository.
By default, this is equivalent to running `git fetch` and `git checkout $GITHUB_SHA`, so that you'll always have your repo contents at the version that triggered the workflow.
See [here](https://help.github.com/en/articles/events-that-trigger-workflows) to learn what `$GITHUB_SHA` is for different kinds of events.
# Usage
See [action.yml](action.yml)
Basic:
```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v1
- uses: actions/setup-node@v1
with:
node-version: 10.x
- run: npm install
- run: npm test
```
By default, the branch or tag ref that triggered the workflow will be checked out. If you wish to check out a different branch, specify that using `with.ref`:
Checkout different branch from the workflow repository:
```yaml
- uses: actions/checkout@v1
with:
ref: some-branch
```
Checkout different private repository:
```yaml
- uses: actions/checkout@v1
with:
repository: myAccount/myRepository
ref: refs/heads/master
token: ${{ secrets.GitHub_PAT }} // `GitHub_PAT` is a secret contains your PAT.
```
Checkout private submodules:
```yaml
- uses: actions/checkout@v1
with:
submodules: true // 'recursive' 'true' or 'false'
token: ${{ secrets.GitHub_PAT }} // `GitHub_PAT` is a secret contains your PAT.
```
> - Private submodules must be configured via `https` not `ssh`.
> - `${{ github.token }}` only has permission to the workflow triggering repository. If the repository contains any submodules that come from private repositories, you will need to add your PAT as secret and use the secret in `with.token` to make the `checkout` action work.

# Changelog
# V1.1.0
Reverted Changes to automatically set Git Config and Authentication. These features did not work with some custom workflows and we will revisit them in the future.
