gh-workflow-run - Run a workflow by creating a workflow_dispatch event
gh workflow run [<workflow-id> | <workflow-name>] [flags]
Create a workflow_dispatch event for a given workflow.
This command will trigger GitHub Actions to run a given workflow
file. The given workflow file must support a workflow_dispatch 'on' trigger
in order to be run in this way.
If the workflow file supports inputs, they can be specified in a
few ways:
- Interactively
- via -f or -F flags
- As JSON, via STDIN
- -F, --field <key=value>
- Add a string parameter in key=value format, respecting @ syntax
- --json
- Read workflow inputs as JSON via STDIN
- -f, --raw-field <key=value>
- Add a string parameter in key=value format
- -r, --ref <string>
- The branch or tag name which contains the version of the workflow file
you'd like to run
- -R, --repo <[HOST/]OWNER/REPO>
- Select another repository using the [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format
# Have gh prompt you for what workflow you'd like to run and interactively collect inputs
$ gh workflow run
# Run the workflow file 'triage.yml' at the remote's default branch
$ gh workflow run triage.yml
# Run the workflow file 'triage.yml' at a specified ref
$ gh workflow run triage.yml --ref my-branch
# Run the workflow file 'triage.yml' with command line inputs
$ gh workflow run triage.yml -f name=scully -f greeting=hello
# Run the workflow file 'triage.yml' with JSON via standard input
$ echo '{"name":"scully", "greeting":"hello"}' | gh workflow run triage.yml --json
