Installation • Documentation

---

The Reliably CLI is your interface to the Reliably services.

• That you have created an account with Reliably
• A token. You can generate one from the Reliably dashboard then store it as an Environment secret in your GitHub repository under the name RELIABLY_SERVICE_TOKEN

Actions

Plan

The main action in this repository is the plan action. It features:

• Runs Reliably plan from within a GitHub workflow
• Allows you to keep your sensitive data in a GitHub Environment so that you keep them close to your operations
• Reports its results back to Reliably
• Stores the result files (the log and journal) as a commit in the repository
• Stores a file listing all the licences of all the packages used as part of run within the commit

The basic action usage is as follows:

name: Execute a Reliably Plan

on:
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  execute-reliably-plan:
    runs-on: ubuntu-22.04
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
    - uses: reliablyhq/actions/plan@main

Store this as a workflow called reliably-plan.yaml.
