Optional args may be supplied to control which refs are included. See `script/add-action.sh --help` for more info.
### Ignoring old versions
To exclude certain old version tags from being packaged, add an `ignoreTags` array to the action config JSON file. Each entry is a regex pattern that will be tested against tag names.
**When adding a new action**, use the `--ignore-tags` option with simple version prefixes:
```bash
./script/add-action.sh --ignore-tags "v1,v2" actions/checkout
```
This will automatically generate regex patterns that match `v1`, `v1.x`, `v2`, `v2.x`, etc.
**For existing actions**, use the helper script to add ignore tags:
```bash
./script/add-ignore-tags.sh --ignore-tags "v1,v2" actions/checkout
```
Or add `ignoreTags` directly to the JSON config file:
```json
{
"owner": "actions",
"repo": "checkout",
"ignoreTags": [
"^v1(\\..*)?$",
"^v2(\\..*)?$"
]
}
```
Tags matching any of the patterns will be excluded from the generated scripts while remaining in the config for historical reference. The `ignoreTags` field is preserved when running `update-action.sh`.
### How to use this in the self-hosted runner?
Please read the doc @kenmuse has put together at: https://www.kenmuse.com/blog/building-github-actions-runner-images-with-an-action-archive-cache/
