sync-plumbing-workflows

Sync reusable workflow digests from tektoncd/plumbing into this repo's .github/workflows. Use when updating pinned SHA digests for workflows sourced from tektoncd/plumbing (e.g. _chatops_retest.yml, _cherry-pick-command.yaml), or when checking whether local workflow pins are behind the current main branch of the plumbing repo.

# Sync Plumbing Workflow Digests tekton-pruner references reusable workflows from [tektoncd/plumbing](https://github.com/tektoncd/plumbing). These are pinned to SHA digests for supply-chain security. This skill resolves the latest commit SHA on `main` for each referenced plumbing workflow and updates the pins in `.github/workflows/`. ## Background Workflow references look like: ```yaml uses: tektoncd/plumbing/.github/workflows/_chatops_retest.yml@1cf2292a30268252a734b413b8a44f15c04d1de8 # main uses: tektoncd/plumbing/.github/workflows/_cherry-pick-command.yaml@9f8e1781d5cc431e5c95190a9fc14dfba1cec391 # main ``` The SHA after `@` must be the full 40-character commit hash. The `# main` comment documents the intended branch. ## Process ### 1. Find all plumbing workflow references in this repo ```bash grep -rn "tektoncd/plumbing/.github/workflows" .github/workflows/ ``` Expected output lists each file and the current pinned SHA. ### 2. Resolve the latest commit SHA on plumbing main Use the GitHub API (no clone needed): ```bash gh api repos/tektoncd/plumbing/commits/main --jq '.sha' ``` This returns the HEAD SHA of `main`. All reusable workflows in plumbing are versioned together — there is no per-file SHA; the commit SHA covers the whole repo tree. To get the SHA for a specific workflow path (confirms the file still exists at that commit): ```bash # Check that the workflow file exists on main gh api "repos/tektoncd/plumbing/contents/.github/workflows/_chatops_retest.yml?ref=main" --jq '.sha' gh api "repos/tektoncd/plumbing/contents/.github/workflows/_cherry-pick-command.yaml?ref=main" --jq '.sha' ``` > **Note:** The `.sha` from the contents API is the blob SHA (not the commit > SHA). Use the commit SHA from step 2 for the `uses:` pin — that is what > GitHub Actions validates. ### 3. Compare current pins to latest ```bash LATEST=$(gh api repos/tektoncd/plumbing/commits/main --jq '.sha') echo "Latest plumbing main: $LATEST" echo "" echo "Current pins in this repo:" grep -rh "tektoncd/plumbing" .github/workflows/ | grep -oE '@[0-9a-f]{40}' | sort -u ``` If the current pin already matches `$LATEST`, no update is needed. ### 4. Update all plumbing workflow pins Replace all occurrences of the old SHA with the new one across every workflow file: ```bash OLD=$(grep -rh "tektoncd/plumbing" .github/workflows/ | grep -oE '@[0-9a-f]{40}' | sort -u | head -1) NEW=$(gh api repos/tektoncd/plumbing/commits/main --jq '.sha') echo "Updating $OLD → $NEW" # Dry run first grep -rln "tektoncd/plumbing" .github/workflows/ # Apply (portable across macOS and Linux) for f in $(grep -rln "tektoncd/plumbing" .github/workflows/); do sed -i.bak "s|tektoncd/plumbing/.github/workflows/\(.*\)@${OLD}|tektoncd/plumbing/.github/workflows/\1@${NEW}|g" "$f" rm -f "${f}.bak" echo "Updated $f" done ``` ### 5. Verify the changes ```bash grep -rn "tektoncd/plumbing" .github/workflows/ ``` All occurrences should now show the new SHA, with `# main` comment preserved. ### 6. Commit the update Use a conventional commit message: ```bash git add .github/workflows/ git commit -m "chore: update tektoncd/plumbing workflow pins to $(gh api repos/tektoncd/plumbing/commits/main --jq '.sha[0:12]')" ``` Open a PR following normal contribution process. ## Checking Other Pinned Actions Other pinned actions in `.github/workflows/` (e.g. `actions/checkout`, `actions/setup-go`, `golangci/golangci-lint-action`) are managed separately. This skill covers **only `tektoncd/plumbing` references**. To audit all pinned actions in the repo at once: ```bash grep -rh "uses:" .github/workflows/ | grep -v "^#" | sort -u ``` For a full dependency update including non-plumbing actions, use Dependabot or the [zizmor](https://github.com/zizmorcore/zizmor) security scanner already configured in `.github/workflows/zizmor.yaml`. ## References - [tektoncd/plumbing](https://github.com/tektoncd/plumbing) — shared workflow sources - [GitHub Actions: reusable workflows](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/sharing-automations/reusing-workflows) - [OpenSSF Scorecard: pinned dependencies](https://github.com/ossf/scorecard/blob/main/docs/checks.md#pinned-dependencies)
