🚨 Breaking Changes

diff_branch Input Removed

The diff_branch input has been removed and replaced with the more flexible ref input.

✨ New Features

Non-PR Event Support

The action now works with all GitHub Actions events, not just pull requests:

• ✅ push events
• ✅ workflow_dispatch (manual triggers)
• ✅ schedule events
• ✅ Any other GitHub Actions event

Example:

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  check:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: bcgov-nr/action-diff-triggers@v1.0.0
        with:
          triggers: ('backend/' 'frontend/')

Defaults to HEAD^ for push events

Flexible ref Input

The new ref input supports multiple reference types:

• Branches: main, develop, feature/branch
• Commit SHAs: abc123def456
• Tags: v1.0.0
• Local refs (non-PR only): HEAD^, HEAD~2

Examples:

Compare against a branch

ref: main

Compare against a specific commit

ref: abc123def456

Compare against previous commit (non-PR events)

ref: HEAD^

Compare against 2 commits ago (non-PR events)

ref: HEAD~2

Local Ref Detection

For non-PR events, the action automatically detects local refs (starting with HEAD) and uses them directly without fetching from remote, improving performance.

Fork PR Support

Automatic fork PR detection and handling in pull_request_target context - no configuration needed!

🔧 Improvements

Smart Path Matching

Improved trigger path matching using git pathspec matching for more accurate detection of file changes.

Better Trigger Parsing

Enhanced parsing of trigger paths that contain spaces, properly handling quoted strings like 'my path/file.txt'.

Optimized Fetch Depth

• PR events: Fetches minimal history (depth: 1) for faster execution
• Non-PR events: Fetches full history (depth: 0) to support local refs like HEAD^

Code Simplification

• Unified remote handling (always adds base remote)
• Simplified ref determination logic
• Better default behavior for different event types

📋 Default Behavior

Event Type	Default ref	Notes
pull_request	Base repo default branch	Fetched from remote
pull_request_target	Base repo default branch	Fetched from remote
push	HEAD^	Local ref, no fetch needed
workflow_dispatch	HEAD^	Local ref, no fetch needed
Other events	HEAD^	Local ref, no fetch needed

🔄 Backward Compatibility

• ✅ PR events work exactly as before - Defaults to base repo default branch
• ✅ Fork PR support maintained - Automatic detection and handling
• ✅ All existing PR workflows continue to work - Just replace diff_branch with ref

📚 Documentation

• Updated README with comprehensive examples
• Added examples for push events, workflow_dispatch, and custom refs
• Migration guide included

🧪 Testing

• Added comprehensive test workflows
• Tests for PR events, push events, and custom refs
• Improved test coverage
