setup-gcloud GitHub Action

Configures the Google Cloud SDK in the GitHub Actions environment. The Google Cloud SDK includes both the gcloud and gsutil binaries.

Or integrate natively with other Google Cloud GitHub Actions:

• Authenticate to Google Cloud
• Deploy a Cloud Run service
• Deploy an App Engine app
• Deploy a Cloud Function
• Access Secret Manager secrets
• Upload to Cloud Storage
• Configure GKE credentials

📢 NOTICES

• Do not pin this action to @master, use @v0 instead. We are going to rename the branch to main in 2022 and this will break existing workflows. See Versioning for more information.

• Previously this repository contained the code for ALL of the GCP GitHub Actions. Now each action has it's own repo and this repo is only for setup-gcloud.

  For setup-gcloud:

  steps:
  - id: gcloud
  -  uses: GoogleCloudPlatform/github-actions/setup-gcloud@master
  +  uses: google-github-actions/setup-gcloud@v0

  For other actions (example uses deploy-cloudrun):

  steps:
  - id: deploy
  -  uses: GoogleCloudPlatform/github-actions/deploy-cloudrun@master
  +  uses: google-github-actions/deploy-cloudrun@v0

Usage

jobs:
  job_id:
    # Add "id-token" with the intended permissions.
    permissions:
      contents: 'read'
      id-token: 'write'

    steps:
    - id: 'auth'
      uses: 'google-github-actions/auth@v0'
      with:
        workload_identity_provider: 'projects/123456789/locations/global/workloadIdentityPools/my-pool/providers/my-provider'
        service_account: '[email protected]'

    - name: 'Set up Cloud SDK'
      uses: 'google-github-actions/setup-gcloud@v0'

    - name: 'Use gcloud CLI'
      run: 'gcloud info'

Inputs

Cloud SDK inputs

• version: (Optional) A string representing the version of the Cloud SDK (gcloud) to install (e.g. "290.0.1"). The default value is "latest", which will install the latest available Cloud SDK version.

• project_id: (Optional) Project ID (not project number) of the Google Cloud project. If provided, this will configure the gcloud CLI to use that project ID for commands. Individual commands can still override the project with the --project flag. If unspecified, the action attempts to find the "best" project ID by looking at other inputs and environment variables.

Authentication inputs

⚠️ Deprecated: The following authentication inputs are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. See Authorization for more information.

• service_account_key: (Deprecated, optional) The Google Cloud service account key JSON. This key should be created and stored as a GitHub secret. It can be the raw JSON contents or a base64-encoded string of the raw JSON contents. There is no default value.

• service_account_email: (Deprecated, optional) Email address of the service account to use for authentication. This is only required for p12 service account keys, which are no longer recommended. This input is not required if using a JSON service account key. There is no default value.

• export_default_credentials: (Deprecated, optional) If true, the action will write credentials to the filesystem and export the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable for future steps to consume Application Default Credentials. The default value is false.

• credentials_file_path: (Deprecated, optional) The path at which the exported credentials should be written on disk. In order for the credentials to be available for future steps, it must be in $GITHUB_WORKSPACE or $RUNNER_TEMP. This is only valid when export_default_credentials is true. The default value is a temporary file inside $GITHUB_WORKSPACE.

• cleanup_credentials: (Deprecated, optional) If true, the action will remove any generated credentials from the filesystem after all steps have completed. This only applies if export_default_credentials is true. The default value is true.

Example workflows

• Google Kubernetes Engine: An example workflow that uses GitHub Actions to deploy a static website to an existing Google Kubernetes Engine cluster.

• Cloud Run: An example workflow that uses GitHub Actions to build and deploy a container to Cloud Run.

• Google Compute Engine: An example workflow that uses GitHub Actions to deploy a container to an existing Google Compute Engine (GCE) instance.

• App Engine: An example workflow that uses GitHub Actions to deploy source code to App Engine, a fully managed serverless platform.

• Cloud Build: An example workflow that uses GitHub Actions to build a container image with Cloud Build.

Authorization

This action installs the Cloud SDK (gcloud). To configure its authentication to Google Cloud, use the google-github-actions/auth action. You can authenticate via:

Workload Identity Federation (preferred)

⚠️ The bq and gsutil tools do no currently support Workload Identity Federation! You will need to use traditional service account key authentication for now.

jobs:
  job_id:
    # Add "id-token" with the intended permissions.
    permissions:
      contents: 'read'
      id-token: 'write'

    steps:
    - id: 'auth'
      uses: 'google-github-actions/auth@v0'
      with:
        workload_identity_provider: 'projects/123456789/locations/global/workloadIdentityPools/my-pool/providers/my-provider'
        service_account: '[email protected]'

    - name: 'Set up Cloud SDK'
      uses: 'google-github-actions/setup-gcloud@v0'

    - name: 'Use gcloud CLI'
      run: 'gcloud info'

Service Account Key JSON

job:
  job_id:
    steps:
    - id: 'auth'
      uses: 'google-github-actions/auth@v0'
      with:
        credentials_json: '${{ secrets.GCP_CREDENTIALS }}'

    - name: 'Set up Cloud SDK'
      uses: 'google-github-actions/setup-gcloud@v0'

    - name: 'Use gcloud CLI'
      run: 'gcloud info'

Application Default Credentials

If and only if you are using self-hosted runners that are hosted on Google Cloud Platform, the Cloud SDK will automatically authenticate using the machine credentials:

job:
  job_id:
    steps:
    - name: 'Set up Cloud SDK'
      uses: 'google-github-actions/setup-gcloud@v0'

    - name: 'Use gcloud CLI'
      run: 'gcloud info'

Versioning

We recommend pinning to the latest available major version:

- uses: 'google-github-actions/setup-gcloud@v0'

While this action attempts to follow semantic versioning, but we're ultimately human and sometimes make mistakes. To prevent accidental breaking changes, you can also pin to a specific version:

- uses: 'google-github-actions/[email protected]'

However, you will not get automatic security updates or new features without explicitly updating your version number. Note that we only publish MAJOR and MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH versions. There is not a floating alias for MAJOR.MINOR.
